EDITORS COMMENTS
This handcolored copperplate print depicts Pepin II, the Younger, King of Aquitaine, who ruled from 823 to approximately 864. The image, drawn and engraved by Leopold Massard for the publication "French Costumes from King Clovis to Our Days," published in Paris in 1834, offers a glimpse into the fashion and regal attire of the medieval period. Pepin II is shown wearing a crown adorned with precious stones and a chainmail tunic, typical of the armor worn during this era. He wears shorts, which were a common undergarment, and stockings that reach up to his knees. In his right hand, he holds a sword, a symbol of his power and authority, while in his left hand, he clutches a buckler, a small round shield used for close combat. Standing beside him is a squire, dressed in a simpler version of the king's attire, indicating his role as a servant and protector. Pepin II is also wearing a Phrygian cap, a type of hat associated with freedom and liberty, which may symbolize his status as a ruler or his connection to the ancient Roman and Greek civilizations. The intricate details of the engraving and the vibrant colors of the handcoloring bring this historical figure to life, offering a fascinating glimpse into the fashion and culture of the medieval period. The image serves as a reminder of the rich history and traditions that have shaped Europe and continues to influence our modern world.
