EDITORS COMMENTS
This print, titled "Fol. 43 Fashionable dress for men during the period of the French Revolution" offers a fascinating glimpse into the sartorial choices of men during this tumultuous time in history. Created by P. A. Lesueur and J. B. Lesueur, this gouache painting showcases various fashion trends that emerged amidst the chaos of the French Revolution. The image captures a diverse range of characters, each adorned in their own unique attire. A young dandy, known as a muscadin, confidently dons a carmagnole - a short jacket popularized during the Revolutionary era. The green tie he wears signifies his affiliation with the Jacobins and serves as protection for its wearer. Meanwhile, another figure labeled as "Costume Suspect" sports an eye-catching redingote or frock coat paired with an elegant hairstyle. In contrast to these refined gentlemen is a sans-culotte smoking a pipe, representing the working class who rejected aristocratic fashion norms. Notably, Citoyen Denon's design influence is highlighted through his creation of the carmagnole jacket worn by one character in this scene. Additionally, we witness another sans-culotte enthusiastically dancing to what appears to be the lively carmagnole dance. This print not only provides insight into fashionable male dress but also sheds light on societal divisions and political affiliations prevalent during this revolutionary period in France's history.
