EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the 15th century, showcasing an array of horned and steeple headdresses. The image is a fascinating blend of historical fashion and artistic interpretation, captured by Emily Jessie Ashdown in 1910. In the center of the composition, we see a truncated parody of the steeple headdress, its exaggerated height serving as a whimsical nod to the original style. On the right side, an intriguing hybrid emerges - combining elements from both the old-fashioned horned headdress and an undeveloped steeple design. This fusion creates a unique headpiece that exemplifies creativity during this era. The photograph comes from "British Costume during 19 Centuries" by Mrs Charles H Ashdown, offering us insight into English fashion throughout history. It beautifully showcases how women adorned themselves with elegance and sophistication during medieval times. The monochrome aesthetic adds depth to this visual journey through time, emphasizing intricate details such as wimples and veils that were commonly worn alongside these elaborate headpieces. The geometry and angles present in each headdress highlight not only their structural complexity but also their symbolic significance within society. Emily Jessie Ashdown's skillful capture transports us to another world where women embraced their femininity while donning these remarkable creations. As we admire this print collector's work today, we are reminded of England's rich cultural heritage and its enduring impact on fashion throughout centuries past.
