EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning handcoloured lithograph, titled "Costumes Historiques de la France, or Historical Costumes of France, depicts French mens fashion of the year 1790. Created by the renowned French publisher Le Bibliophile Jacob, also known as Paul Lacroix, this image is a captivating snapshot of a pivotal moment in fashion history. The print features an elegant assembly of figures, each dressed in the latest styles of the time. The men are depicted in various poses, showcasing the intricate details of their attire. The fashion trends of 1790 were characterized by simplicity and elegance, a reflection of the political and social changes taking place in France. The men's outfits consist of long, fitted coats with narrow waists, worn over knee-length breeches. The coats are often adorned with lapels, cuffs, and buttons, adding visual interest to the otherwise monochromatic ensembles. Hats, such as the bicorne or the tricorn, complete the look. The use of vibrant colours and intricate patterns in the handcolouring adds a touch of sophistication and charm to the print. The meticulous attention to detail, evident in the textures and patterns of the fabrics, further enhances the authenticity of the image. This print offers a unique glimpse into the world of French mens fashion during the late 18th century. It serves as a reminder of the importance of fashion as a reflection of the historical context and the cultural values of a society. The Costumes Historiques de la France series, published by Le Bibliophile Jacob, remains an invaluable resource for fashion historians and enthusiasts alike, providing a rich and detailed record of the evolution of French fashion over several centuries.
