EDITORS COMMENTS
This handcoloured lithograph, titled "Costumes Historiques de la France: Fashion of Bourgeois Men of Paris during the Reign of King Francis I of France," is a captivating glimpse into the sartorial elegance of Parisian bourgeoisie during the 16th century. The image is a meticulously crafted reproduction of a miniature in a manuscript from the Bibliotheque Nationale in Paris, specifically from the collection of Nicolas Xavier Willemin II, numbered 191. The lithograph showcases an array of fashionable attire donned by Parisian men of the bourgeois class during the reign of King Francis I. The king, who ruled France from 1515 to 1547, was a patron of the arts and known for his extravagant court. This influence is evident in the ornate and intricately designed garments depicted in the lithograph. The men are dressed in a variety of styles, each reflecting the opulence and sophistication of the era. Some wear doublets, a fitted jacket with a separate skirt, while others sport gowns with voluminous sleeves and high collars. Hats, caps, and other headwear complete the ensembles, adding a touch of refinement to the overall appearance. The use of vibrant colors and intricate details in the lithograph further enhances the visual appeal of the image. The handcolouring technique adds depth and texture to the garments, bringing the fashions of the bourgeois men of Paris during the reign of King Francis I to life. This lithograph is a valuable historical record of the fashion trends of the time and offers a fascinating insight into the lives of the Parisian bourgeoisie during the 16th century. It is a testament to the enduring allure of fashion history and the importance of preserving and celebrating the rich cultural heritage of France.
