Margaret Roper (1505-1544), daughter of Sir Thomas More. From a Hans Holbein painting of More's family. In this version, rather than the black velvet dress of Holbein's version, she wears an embroidered dress in gold and scarlet with full sleeves. Handcolored engraving from "Civil Costume of England from the Conquest to the Present Period" drawn by Charles Martin and etched by Leopold Martin, London, Henry Bohn, 1842. The costumes were drawn from tapestries, monumental effigies, illuminated manuscripts and portraits. Charles and Leopold Martin were the sons of the romantic artist and mezzotint engraver John Martin (1789-1854).
