EDITORS COMMENTS
This handcolored copperplate print depicts Louis IX, also known as Saint Louis, the revered King of France from 1215 to 1270. The meticulously detailed image, drawn and engraved by Leopold Massard for the publication "French Costumes from King Clovis to Our Days," showcases the monarch in his military regalia as he sits atop a noble steed. Louis IX is dressed in a full suit of armor, with a helm adorned with a grille crest atop his head, protecting him in battle. The chainmail under his armor is visible, adding an extra layer of defense. His tunic, emblazoned with the royal coat of arms, is fastened with a large escutcheon and secured by a sash. His legs are encased in high boots with spurs, signifying his readiness to ride into battle. In his left hand, Louis IX holds a buckler shield, while in his right, he raises a banner bearing the royal coat of arms. The intricate design of the banner, along with the detailed engraving of the horse's mane and tail, adds to the authenticity and grandeur of the image. Louis IX was a significant figure in medieval history, known for his piety, military prowess, and dedication to the Crusades. This stunning print offers a glimpse into the fashion and military customs of the time, providing a valuable historical record for scholars and enthusiasts alike.
