The Paltock, 14th Century, 1842 (Engraving)
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print showcases "The Paltock" a fashionable garment popular during the reign of Richard II in the late 14th century. Created by Joseph Strutt in 1842, this engraving beautifully captures the intricate details and elegance of this unique jacket. The Paltock features a short length with a high collar and wide sleeves adorned with richly dagged edges. Its design reflects the opulence and grandeur associated with the medieval period. This particular image is sourced from Jean Froissart's Chronicles, found in Royal MS 15 E vi and Royal MS 18 E ii from the Talbot Shrewsbury book. Strutt's meticulous attention to detail brings out every aspect of this exquisite garment, allowing viewers to appreciate its craftsmanship even centuries later. The print transports us back to an era when fashion was not just functional but also served as a symbol of status and wealth. Displayed against a neutral background, this engraving highlights both the intricacy of the Paltock's design and its historical significance. It serves as a testament to British culture during that time period while also showcasing European fashion influences. As we admire this piece today, it reminds us of how clothing can be more than mere fabric; it can tell stories about societies long gone. Strutt's work immortalizes an important part of history for future generations to appreciate and learn from.
