EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the fashion trends of men's costumes in 1879, beautifully captured through chromolithography in 1880. The image is part of a series called "Fashion alphabet and costume history" published by the renowned Auguste Fretin shoe factory in Paris during the late 19th century. In this particular letter T illustration, we witness a dapper gentleman donning an exquisite ensemble that epitomizes the elegance and sophistication of French style. He confidently holds a walking stick, which adds to his refined demeanor. His choice of headwear includes a top hat or possibly a bonnet, further accentuating his fashionable appearance. The vibrant colors employed in this chromolithograph bring life to every detail of his attire, from the meticulously tailored clothing to the accessories he adorns. This visual feast not only serves as an advertisement for Fretin's products but also provides valuable insight into male fashion during this era. As we delve into this mesmerizing snapshot from history, it becomes evident that fashion was not limited to women alone; men too embraced sartorial excellence with great enthusiasm. This artwork stands as a testament to how even alphabets were utilized creatively for promotional purposes back then. Bridgeman Images has flawlessly preserved this piece of artistry from the 19th century, allowing us to appreciate its historical significance and marvel at the craftsmanship involved in creating such intricate lithographs.
