EDITORS COMMENTS
This handcolored illustration, drawn and lithographed by Paul Mercuri with text by Camille Bonnard, transports us back to the 15th century as we gaze upon the regal figure of a Burmese nobleman. Dressed in intricately embroidered robes, the nobleman exudes an air of wealth and sophistication. The richly decorated garments, adorned with intricate floral and geometric patterns, are a testament to the exquisite craftsmanship of the time. The nobleman's hat, a tall and conical design, sits atop his head, adding to his stately appearance. The hat, like the robes, is adorned with intricate embroidery, reflecting the importance placed on fashion and personal adornment in Burmese culture. Completing the nobleman's ensemble are ornate slippers, which are equally detailed and intricately designed. The slippers feature delicate embroidery and intricate patterns, showcasing the attention to detail that went into every aspect of the nobleman's attire. This illustration, taken from the 1860 publication "Historical Costumes from the 12th to 15th Centuries" by Levy Fils in Paris, offers a glimpse into the customs and manners of the people of Burma during this time period. The illustration, which is part of the "Costumes of Noblemen of Florence" series, highlights the rich and varied fashion traditions of the past, providing us with a window into history. Jean Francois Nicolas Loumyer's "Manuscrits et Costumes des Peuples du Monde" series, which includes this illustration, was a groundbreaking work that documented the traditional costumes and customs of various peoples from around the world. This illustration, in particular, showcases the unique and intriguing fashion traditions of Burma, offering us a glimpse into a bygone era.
