EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning handcoloured lithograph captures the uniform of a state messenger under the Directory in France. Each councilor had four messengers who donned this striking ensemble, consisting of a white tunic, blue coat, and hat adorned with tricolor plumes. The attention to detail in this historical costume is truly remarkable, showcasing the intricate design and style of the era. Created by Le Bibliophile Jacob, also known as Paul Lacroix, this print is part of his renowned work "Costumes Historique de la France" (Historical Costumes of France), published in Paris in 1852. The meticulous craftsmanship and artistic flair evident in this lithograph make it a valuable piece for anyone interested in French history and fashion. The combination of colors - white, blue, and tricolor - symbolizes patriotism and national pride during a significant period in French history. The state messengers depicted here exude an air of authority and elegance with their distinctive attire. This image serves as a window into the past, offering viewers a glimpse into the world of government officials and their messengers under the Directory regime. It is not just a visual representation but also a historical document that sheds light on the customs and traditions of that time.
