EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Le Lorgneur" takes us back to the late 18th century, offering a glimpse into the world of French fashion and culture. Engraved by Baquoi and based on an original work by François Louis Joseph Watteau, this coloured engraving showcases a dashing male figure adorned in traditional costume. The subject of the image is depicted wearing a striped coat, complemented by a stylish Mexborough hat. His attire exudes elegance and sophistication, representing the fashionable trends of that era. With an eyeglass in hand, he appears to be admiring something or someone with great interest. The illustration captures not only the beauty of his clothing but also his confident demeanor as he engages in what seems like leering or ogling behavior. The artist skillfully portrays this moment through intricate details and delicate lines. This piece from Galeries des Modes et Costumes Francais offers us a window into 18th-century France's vibrant fashion scene while also shedding light on social interactions during that time period. It serves as a testament to how clothing played an essential role in expressing one's status and personal style. With its historical significance and artistic finesse, this enchanting print adds depth and charm to any collection it graces.
