The National and Domestic History of England (Vol 3) (page 1/3)

details...

Pictures and short extracts from The National and Domestic History of England Volume III (A.D. 1399 – 1603), by William Hickman Smith Aubrey (1858 – 1916). The book is undated, but is probably 1878, since I found someone selling a copy with an inscription dated 1879. The engravings are mostly anonymous, and hence out of copyright; the author died more than 75 years ago, and so the text is out of copyright; any photographs were taken more than 50 years ago and are out of copyright. The status of signed engravings would depend on the artist, but I have not yet uploaded any such items. Check the individual image descriptions for more information.

Volume 2

Volume 3

I originally had a Volume 3 that was only a third of the thickness of volume 2; it turns out to have been from a slightly different edition that had lots of thin volumes instead of three fat ones. I now have all three volumes from the same edition, so some of the images are moving around to their proper places.

Dress of the Commonality, Time of Charles I. A.D. 1630.

A colour engraving showing a cluster of people coming out of the door of a church, presumably after a service. They may be the common people but these are not working clothes.

The man in the foreground has a red robe and, under it, a yellow vest or shirt wit a white lace collar. he wears blue pantaloons down to just below his knees, white stockings, and shoes with flowers on the buckles. he carries his hat, which has a large feather. It’s hard to be sure but his belt, which is worn high, may well have a holster for a pistol.

The woman to his right has a large green dress hanging down, perhaps pleated, and a yellow and red bodice with a white shawl. She is bare-headed.

Outside the chich another woman, with ringed curls to her hair, a Dutch-style black hat, a white shawl, a [more...] [$]
