Picture Day Friday
Cerdic was a chieftain of the clan known as Gewisse. He founded the West Saxon kingdom of Wessex in southwestern England in the sixth century. The picture is from cartographer John Speed's Saxon Heptarchy printed in 1611.
And for a stark contrast.....here's a Regency lady from 1819 wearing a half-mourning evening gown.
