EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "Young girls, 13th century" transports us back in time to medieval England. Taken in 1910 by Emily Jessie Ashdown, this image is a part of the British Costume during 19 Centuries collection. The photograph showcases two young girls dressed in traditional robes that were looped up in festoons to prevent them from trailing on the ground. The attention to detail is remarkable as we can see the intricate threadwork and craftsmanship of their clothing. These garments not only reflect the fashion trends of the 13th century but also symbolize the cultural heritage of England. The composition exudes an air of innocence and curiosity as these young girls stand side by side, holding spindles and distaffs - tools commonly used for spinning yarn during that era. Their expressions hint at a sense of pride and perhaps even excitement about wearing such elaborate attire. Emily Jessie Ashdown's talent shines through this monochrome masterpiece, capturing a moment frozen in time. As we admire this print, we are reminded of the rich history embedded within our clothing choices and how they connect us to our ancestors. This photograph serves as a window into a distant past, allowing us to appreciate both the beauty of medieval fashion and the skillful artistry behind it.
