EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Aedile in toga, tunic and sandals, ancient Rome" takes us back to the vibrant streets of ancient Rome in 1796. Created by L. F. Labrousse under the guidance of Jacques Grasset de Saint-Sauveur, this handcoloured copperplate print offers a glimpse into the world of Roman politics and society. In the center of the image stands an Aedile, adorned in a traditional toga, tunic, and sandals - symbols of his status as a politician and administrator. Surrounding him are various buildings and edifices that represent the grandeur of ancient Rome: a majestic bridge spanning over flowing waters, an imposing obelisk reaching towards the sky, and a magnificent temple standing tall. The attention to detail is remarkable; every fold on his garments is meticulously engraved with care. The artist's skillful use of color adds depth and life to this historical scene. Through this artwork, we gain insight into not only the attire but also the social class structure prevalent during that time period. It serves as a reminder that clothing was not merely functional but also played an essential role in defining one's position within society. As we gaze upon this engraving from our private collection today, we can appreciate both its artistic beauty and its historical significance. It transports us back centuries ago when men like this Aedile walked proudly through the bustling streets of ancient Rome – their presence shaping politics and influencing society at large.
