14thcentury Camillebonnard Paulmercuri Veil
EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning handcolored illustration, drawn and lithographed by Paul Mercuri with text by Camille Bonnard, depicts an Italian noblewoman from the 14th century. The noblewoman is dressed in the height of fashion for her time, with a richly decorated veil covering her hair and a voluminous, fur-trimmed gown. The veil, made of fine linen or silk, is adorned with intricate embroidery and lace, and is secured in place with a jeweled headpiece. The dress itself is made of heavy, luxurious fabric, likely wool or silk, and is fitted at the waist with a belt or sash. The sleeves are long and full, and are also trimmed with fur, adding to the overall opulence of the ensemble. The noblewoman's neckline is modest, covered by a high collar, and her arms are bare, a common fashion choice for the time. The illustration, taken from the book "Historical Costumes from the 12th to 15th Centuries" published by Levy Fils in Paris in 1860, provides a fascinating glimpse into the fashion and style of the Italian nobility during the 14th century. The intricate details of the illustration, from the delicate embroidery on the veil to the luxurious fur trim on the gown, offer a glimpse into the wealth and status of the noblewoman, making this a valuable historical record and an beautiful work of art.
