EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of a French hunter from the 16th century. The engraving, created by Edmond Lechevallier-Chevignard in 1867, showcases the intricate details of the hunter's attire and accessories. Dressed in a slashed buff doublet or pourpoint, along with a slashed green jacket and breeches, this formidable figure exudes both style and functionality. The hunter is depicted holding a spear, showcasing his prowess as he navigates through the wilderness. His black felt slippers provide comfort and stealth during his expeditions. A horn hangs from a cord around his neck, serving as an essential tool for communication or signaling. Lechevallier-Chevignard's hand-colored lithograph beautifully brings to life this historical illustration from Georges Duplessiss' "Costumes historiques des XVIe, XVIIe et XVIIIe siecles" (Historical costumes of the 16th, 17th and 18th centuries). This work not only highlights Lechevallier-Chevignard's talent as an artist but also demonstrates his skill as a book illustrator and interior designer. The image offers us a glimpse into the fashion trends prevalent during this period in France. It serves as a reminder of how costume design played an integral role in society at that time. Overall, this enchanting engraving transports us back to the vibrant world of hunting culture in 16th-century France while celebrating Lechevallier-Chevignard's artistic vision and attention to detail.
