EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph print showcases the ceremonial dress of a French Minister during the Directoire period in 1796. The minister is depicted wearing an elaborate ensemble, complete with a plumed bicorne hat, lace collar, fur-lined coat, double-breasted doublet, hose, and buckle shoes. This grand costume exudes elegance and sophistication. The handcoloured lithograph was created by Lorenzo Bianchi and Domenico Cuciniello after Hippolyte Lecomte's original artwork. It was published in Naples in 1825 as part of an Italian edition of Lecomte's "Civilian and military costumes of the French monarchy from 1200 to 1820". The attention to detail in this lithograph is remarkable, capturing every intricate element of the minister's attire. During this time period marked by political upheaval and revolution, fashion played a significant role in expressing one's social status and political affiliation. This ceremonial dress symbolizes power and authority within the French government. The print offers viewers a glimpse into the fashion trends prevalent during the late 18th century. It serves as a testament to both historical events such as the French Revolution (1789) and artistic craftsmanship that thrived during this era. Displayed against a neutral background, this lithograph print stands out for its vibrant colors and meticulous rendering. Whether appreciated for its historical significance or aesthetic beauty alone, it is undoubtedly an exquisite piece that captures an important moment in French history.
