EDITORS COMMENTS
This handcoloured lithograph by Leopold Massard, based on a 15th century miniature in the manuscript "Histoire du comte Gerard de Nevers" in Roger de Gaignieres portfolio VI 97, offers a glimpse into the attire of a common man during this era. The man is depicted wearing a casaque or cassock, a long, loose-fitting garment that reached down to the ankles, covering a surtout and hose. The surtout, a short, outer garment, is belted at the waist, while the hose are fitted, close-fitting garments that covered the legs from the waist to the feet. The man completes his ensemble with a simple hat and a chapel, a long, hooded cloak that was worn over the shoulders. The intricate details of the man's clothing are beautifully rendered in this handcoloured lithograph, providing a vivid representation of the fashion trends during the 15th century. The use of vibrant colours and shading techniques adds depth and texture to the image, making it a stunning addition to any historical collection. This lithograph is a testament to the meticulous research and attention to detail that went into the creation of the "Costumes Historiques de la France" series by Paul Lacroix and the Administration de Librairie. The collection, published in Paris in 1852, aimed to preserve and document the rich and varied history of French costume. This particular image of a common man from the 15th century provides a valuable insight into the everyday fashion of the time, making it an essential piece for anyone interested in historical costume studies.
