EDITORS COMMENTS
This handcolored illustration, drawn and lithographed by Paul Mercuri with text by Camille Bonnard, depicts the grand entrance of tournament judges, or "juges diseurs," during the 15th century. The image captures the pomp and ceremony of the event, as the judges make their regal procession into the tournament grounds. At the center of the illustration, we see a judge riding a magnificent horse, adorned with an intricately designed caparison. The judge himself is dressed in a richly embroidered coat, worn over a doublet and a simar, a type of long, flowing robe. He wears a tall cap, topped with a plume, and carries a tournament book in one hand. To his left, another judge rides on horseback, wearing a similar outfit, but with a different color palette. His squire follows behind him, leading a horse with a banner bearing the arms of the judge. The third judge, René de Foix, is depicted on foot, wearing a caparisoned cracow hood, a long coat, and hose with stockings. He carries a scepter and a book, symbolizing his authority and knowledge. Barthelemy deeyck, the fourth judge, is shown on horseback, wearing a tall cap, a coat, and a doublet. He carries a long staff and a shield bearing his coat of arms. This illustration provides a fascinating glimpse into the fashion and culture of the 15th century, showcasing the grandeur and pageantry of the tournament scene. The intricate details of the clothing, the horses, and the accessories offer a rich tapestry of historical information, making this an essential resource for students of fashion, history, and art.
