EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving showcases the French knights of the Royal Military Order of St Louis, providing a glimpse into their morning attire in December 1784 and their costumes in 1787. The artwork, created by Bar and later reproduced by Raphael Jacquemin for his publication Iconographie General et Methodique du Costume du IV au XIX siecle, beautifully captures the essence of these distinguished individuals. The image depicts several men adorned in elaborate jackets with red ribbons, symbolizing their membership in this prestigious order. Their military background is evident through the presence of swords and medals on their chests. Each knight exudes an air of nobility as they don hats embellished with feathers and wigs that were fashionable during that era. The historical significance of this engraving lies not only in its portrayal of French fashion but also in its representation of social hierarchy during the late 18th century. The Royal Military Order of St Louis was established by King Louis XIV to honor those who displayed exceptional service to France. As such, these knights held esteemed positions within society. Through this print, we are transported back to a time when chivalry and elegance reigned supreme. It serves as a testament to the rich history and cultural heritage associated with France's military traditions. This artwork offers viewers a window into an era long past while reminding us of the enduring legacy left behind by these gallant knights.
