EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "Saxon cross-gartering" takes us back to the 11th century in England. The image is a reproduction of a medieval manuscript illustration found in the book "British Costume during 19 Centuries" by Mrs Charles H Ashdown, published in London in 1910. The photograph showcases men dressed in traditional Saxon attire, wearing cross-garters - strips of leather or cloth wrapped around their legs to create intricate patterns. These vibrant garters add a touch of color to their otherwise monochrome outfits, highlighting the attention to detail and fashion sense prevalent during that era. In this snapshot from history, we witness these men donning tunics and cloaks while carrying weapons such as spears. Their stoic expressions hint at the seriousness and importance of warfare during those times. The location remains unknown but serves as a reminder of how clothing can reflect not only personal style but also cultural identity. Emily Jessie Ashdown's skillful capture transports us into an age long gone, where knights roamed the land and chivalry was revered. Through this print, we are reminded of the rich heritage and traditions that have shaped British history for centuries.
