EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Costume of a Seneschal or steward and officers, 14th century" takes us back in time to the late Middle Ages. Created by Joseph Strutt in 1842 as part of his comprehensive study on English dress and habits, this print offers a glimpse into the fashion of the 14th century. The central figure is a seneschal or steward, distinguished by his staff symbolizing authority. He is accompanied by two officers who are also dressed in attire typical of the period. The man on the left wears a robe with long sleeves, reminiscent of garments depicted in historical manuscripts such as Chroniques de France ou de St Denis. On the right stands another officer wearing a hooded capelet, similar to those seen in Les Grandes chroniques de France. Strutt's hand-colored engraving beautifully captures the intricate details and textures of these medieval costumes. From the flowing robes to the delicate patterns adorning their garments, every element reflects both elegance and functionality. This artwork transports us to an era when clothing was not only an expression of personal style but also conveyed social status and profession. It serves as a reminder that fashion has always played an essential role in human history. As we admire this exquisite print from Fine Art Finder's collection, we are reminded that even centuries later, these ancient costumes continue to fascinate and inspire us with their timeless beauty.
