This coloured engraving showcases a Knight of the Order of St Louis during the reign of Louis XIV, also known as the Sun King. The intricate details and vibrant colors bring to life the historical costume worn by this nobleman in 1693. The aristocratic man is depicted wearing a magnificent hat adorned with feathers, symbolizing his high status. His attire reflects the fashion trends of the 17th century French nobility, showcasing their opulence and grandeur. The knight's elegant muff adds an extra touch of sophistication to his ensemble. This print is part of "The Book of Historical Costumes" a collection that meticulously captures various periods in history through authentic documents and specimens. It was drawn by H[ippolyte Louis] Pauquet, whose artistic talent shines through every stroke. Louis XIV's reign marked an era where clothing played a significant role in expressing one's social standing within society. This image provides us with insight into the lavish lifestyle enjoyed by members of the House of Bourbon France during this time.
