EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the 19th century takes us back to the 15th century, offering a glimpse into the lives of French noblemen and women. The image showcases a diverse group, including a yeoman of the guard and a gentleman. The yeoman's depiction is derived from an exquisite tapestry found in the Church of St Paterne in Orleans, while the gentleman's portrayal originates from a stained glass window in the Church of St Ouen in Rouen. The composition presents these individuals standing together, providing us with a full-length view that allows for detailed observation. Each figure exudes their own unique presence and style, reflecting their social status and occupation. The noblewomen are adorned with elegant gowns, displaying sophistication and grace. Meanwhile, the gentlemen project an air of authority through their refined attire. Notably, one can spot the distinctive pikestaff held by one of them—a symbol associated with yeomen warders or "beefeaters". This detail adds depth to our understanding of this historical period. Through this engraving by Paul Lacroix alongside Ferdinand Sere and A Rivaud's collaboration on Le Moyen Age et la Renaissance (Volume III), we gain insight into French society during this era. It serves as both an artistic representation and educational tool for those interested in exploring France's rich cultural heritage.
