EDITORS COMMENTS
This handcoloured lithograph by Leopold Massard, titled "Mace Bearer or Massier, Napoleonic Era," is an exquisite depiction of an official figure from the Napoleonic period. The image, part of the "Historical Costumes of France" series published by Le Bibliophile Jacob and Paul Lacroix in 1852, showcases the grandeur and intricacy of the ceremonial attire worn by those who held important roles in the administration of the time. The Mace Bearer, or Massier, is depicted standing proudly, holding aloft a magnificent mace adorned with intricate gold and silver decorations. His voluminous robes, in rich shades of red and gold, are trimmed with ermine fur and fringes, adding to the opulence of the scene. The Massier's headdress, a tall, pointed hat, is bedecked with gold and ermine, further emphasizing his high rank. The attention to detail in this handcoloured lithograph is truly remarkable, from the intricate patterns on the mace to the delicate folds of the Massier's robes. The use of vibrant colours and the skillful shading techniques bring the figure to life, transporting us back to the grandeur and splendour of the Napoleonic era. This image provides a fascinating glimpse into the world of official ceremonial dress during this period, offering a unique insight into the history and culture of France during the time of Napoleon. The Mace Bearer, with his impressive attire and regal bearing, stands as a testament to the grandeur and pageantry of the Napoleonic era.
