EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Royal Guard to King Francis I, France. 16th century" takes us back in time to the grandeur and opulence of the French Renaissance. Created by artist Edmond Lechevallier-Chevignard in 1867, this handcolored lithograph showcases a member of the Garde Ecossaise, the ceremonial halberdiers who served as protectors of King Francis I. The Royal Guard stands tall and proud, adorned in an exquisite chainmail vest with a crown and salamander symbolizing royalty over his vibrant yellow, blue, and pink tunic. Clutching both a sword and halberd with authority, he exudes strength and valor. Lechevallier-Chevignard's attention to detail is evident in every stroke of his artistic genius. The intricate patterns on the guard's armor highlight the craftsmanship of this historical period while capturing our imagination.
