1867 Brocade Ceremonial Chevignard Duplessis Garb Gentleman Georges Lechevallier
EDITORS COMMENTS
In this exquisite 17th century print, a French gentleman, possibly from the royal family, is depicted in his most resplendent ceremonial garb. The intricately designed brocade jacket, adorned with a richly embellished border, is a testament to the opulence and grandeur of the French court during this period. The jacket is fastened by a row of large, ornate buttons, each one a small work of art in itself. The gentleman wears a white, high-collared shirt underneath, which adds to the overall elegance and refinement of his attire. The print, engraved by Ertinger after the original work by Jean de Saint-Jean, is a stunning example of the meticulous detail and craftsmanship that characterized historical costume illustrations of the 19th century. The handcolored illustration by E. Lechevallier-Chevignard further enhances the vibrancy and richness of the colors, bringing the image to life. The lithographs by A. Didier, L. Flameng, and F. Laguillermie add depth and texture to the print, making it a true masterpiece of historical fashion. This print is taken from "Costumes historiques des XVIe, XVIIe et XVIIIe siecles" (Historical costumes of the 16th, 17th and 18th centuries), a comprehensive and authoritative work on historical fashion published in Paris in 1867 by Georges Duplessis. The publication of such works during the 19th century was a significant contribution to the study and preservation of historical fashion, and this print is a valuable reminder of the intricacies and complexities of fashion during the 17th century French court.
