EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Letter T - Fashion under the Directory (men's costume), 1880" takes us back to the elegant world of French fashion in the late 18th century. Created through chromolithography by an anonymous artist from the 19th century, this artwork is part of a private collection. The image showcases a dashing gentleman dressed in attire that reflects the fashion trends during the Directory period (1795-1799) in France. He stands confidently with a walking stick in hand, adorned with a stylish hat and bonnet. The intricate details of his clothes highlight the craftsmanship and attention to detail prevalent during this era. One cannot help but notice the coquetry displayed through various elements such as badges and cockades adorning his outfit, adding an extra touch of beauty and charm. The vibrant colors used in this chromolithograph bring life to every garment, showcasing their rich hues and textures. This artwork was originally published as part of an alphabet primer on fashion history by Auguste Fretin shoe factory around 1880. Although primarily intended for advertising purposes, these chromolithographs have become valuable historical artifacts today. Through this photo print, we are transported back to a time when clothing was not just functional but also served as a form of self-expression and social status. It offers us a glimpse into both the artistic sensibilities and societal norms that shaped men's fashion during this period.
