EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: "A Judge or Doctor of Law in 16th Century France: An Illustration from the Court of King Louis XII" This exquisite handcoloured lithograph, taken from the portfolio "Costumes Historiques de la France" by Paul Lacroix, offers a captivating glimpse into the world of legal proceedings during the reign of King Louis XII in 16th century France. The image depicts a figure dressed in the attire of a Judge or Doctor of Law, an essential figure in the French judicial system of the time. The figure is shown wearing a voluminous robe, adorned with intricate patterns and rich fabrics. The robe is fastened with a sash, and the sleeves are gathered at the shoulders, revealing the linen shirt underneath. A wide-brimmed hat, known as a "chaperon," sits atop the figure's head, adding an air of authority and dignity to the ensemble. The presence of a scroll and a quill pen in the figure's left hand suggests that this individual is not only a Judge but also a Doctor of Law, a title indicating advanced legal education and expertise. The scroll may represent a legal document, while the quill pen signifies the power to interpret and apply the law. The background of the image reveals a bustling courtroom, filled with onlookers and other legal figures. The intricate details of the scene, from the ornate furnishings to the expressive faces of the bystanders, add depth and context to the image, making it a fascinating window into the past. This handcoloured lithograph is a testament to the meticulous research and artistic skill of Paul Lacroix and his team at the Administration Librairie in Paris. The image not only captures the essence of the legal profession in 16th century France but also serves as a beautiful and intriguing work of art in its own right.
