'Anglo Saxon woman wearing a tunic; a mantle and veil (33); Anglo Saxon woman wearing a floating veil (34); and a woman with a belt and veil (35).'鈥楾he veil was very large and covered the hair; fell over the shoulders and descended almost to the knees (33). The manner of depicting the floating veil proved the taste of the artist. Fig. 34 is one example; but usually one could not see the two ends (35).' Handcolored copperplate engraving from Robert von Spalart's 鈥楬istorical Picture of the Costumes of the Principal People of Antiquity and of the Middle Ages' (1796).
