EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking 16th century halberdier, depicted in this handcolored illustration by E. Lechevallier-Chevignard and lithographed by A. Didier, L. Flameng, and F. Laguillermie, showcases the intricate and ornate fashion of the military elite during the Renaissance era. The halberdier wears a full-sleeved doublet in rich gold fabric, adorned with intricate patterns and embellishments. The doublet is paired with striped stockings held up by garters, adding a pop of color to the monochromatic outfit. The halberdier completes his ensemble with a plumed hat, a symbol of rank and status, and a sword at his side. The halberd, a versatile weapon used for both thrusting and hacking, is held in his other hand. This illustration is taken from Georges Duplessis' "Costumes historiques des XVIe, XVIIe et XVIIIe siecles" (Historical costumes of the 16th, 17th and 18th centuries), published in Paris in 1867. The meticulous attention to detail in the illustration provides a glimpse into the fashion and military culture of the 16th century, making it an invaluable resource for historians, fashion enthusiasts, and art lovers alike.
