EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite handcoloured lithograph captures the essence of French mens fashion during the pivotal year of 1789, as depicted in the portrait of a young nobleman. The image is taken from Roger de Gaignieres gallery portfolio X, part of the renowned "Costumes Historiques de la France" series published by Le Bibliophile Jacob, also known as Paul Lacroix, in Paris in 1852. The young nobleman is dressed in the height of fashion for his time, with a voluminous, knee-length coat featuring a red velvet doublet and matching breeches. The coat is adorned with silver buttons and a silver-grey waistcoat, adding an air of opulence and elegance. The nobleman's cravat is tied in a stylish bow, and he wears a tricorn hat with a feather adornment, a common accessory among the French aristocracy. The intricacy and detail of the handcolouring in this lithograph are truly remarkable, bringing the young nobleman's outfit to life with vibrant colours and precise shading. The background, featuring a landscape with trees and a winding river, adds to the overall sense of grandeur and refinement. This image offers a glimpse into the world of French mens fashion during a time of great change, as the French Revolution was beginning to reshape society and challenge the power of the aristocracy. The young nobleman's elegant attire serves as a reminder of the opulence and luxury that was once the norm for the French elite, before the tide of revolution swept it away.
