EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning handcolored print depicts a bodyguard from the first company of the Ecossaise, or Scottish Guard, serving under Francis I of France during the 16th century. The Ecossaise were a formidable force in the royal army, known for their distinctive tartan uniforms and exceptional fighting skills. In this illustration, the bodyguard is shown in full ceremonial regalia, complete with a tartan kilt, quilted jacket, and a plumed bonnet adorned with feathers. The intricate details of the guard's outfit are beautifully rendered, from the intricate patterns on his kilt to the elaborate embroidery on his jacket. The print was created by the renowned French illustrator E. Lechevallier-Chevignard and lithographed by A. Didier, L. Flameng, and F. Laguillermie for Georges Duplessis's "Costumes historiques des XVIe, XVIIe et XVIIIe siecles" (Historical costumes of the 16th, 17th and 18th centuries), published in Paris in 1867. This print provides a fascinating glimpse into the opulence and grandeur of the French court during the Renaissance period, and serves as a testament to the skill and artistry of the illustrators and lithographers of the time.
