EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a Member of the Kings Swiss Guard in France during the year 1596. The coloured engraving, created by the French School in the 19th century, beautifully captures the historical essence of this armed and uniformed individual. The image is part of a private collection and was originally featured as an illustration for "Paris A Travers Les Siecles" by H Gourdon de Genouillac in Geffroy's publication from 1897. The attention to detail in depicting fashion and dress from this era is remarkable, highlighting the intricate costume worn by this Parisian Swiss Guard. Intriguingly, we can observe various elements that define both French and European culture during this time period. From his halberd weapon to his distinctive clothing, every aspect reflects the fashion trends and defensive weaponry prevalent in late 16th-century France. This print offers us a glimpse into history - a window through which we can explore not only military attire but also gain insight into broader societal aspects such as clothing styles and cultural influences. It serves as a reminder of how art can transport us back centuries while preserving significant moments for future generations. Bridgeman Images has expertly preserved this piece of fine art, allowing us to appreciate its beauty today.
