EDITORS COMMENTS
This handcolored copperplate print depicts Philip VI, the King of France from 1328 to 1350, who passed away in 1349. 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 detailed and intricately designed representation of the monarch. Philip VI is shown wearing the royal crown adorned with ermine, a symbol of royalty and purity. His lined hooded robe, a common fashion of the medieval period, is also decorated with fleurs-de-lys, the emblem of the French monarchy. The king's cracows, or high, pointed shoes called poulaines, are a distinctive feature of his attire. The use of handcoloring adds depth and vibrancy to the print, enhancing the intricate details of the King's costume and the engraving. The image captures the grandeur and majesty of the medieval monarch, providing a glimpse into the fashion and style of the time. Philip VI's reign was marked by significant events, including the Hundred Years War between France and England, which began in 1337. His death in 1349, during the Black Death pandemic, marked the end of an era in French history. This print serves as an important historical record of the King's appearance and the fashion of the medieval period, offering a fascinating glimpse into the past.
