EDITORS COMMENTS
This handcolored copperplate print, created by Leopold Massard in 1834, transports us back to the 9th century with its depiction of two shepherds tending to their flock. The intricate details of this engraving showcase the authenticity and richness of medieval fashion, providing a glimpse into a time long past. The shepherds, dressed in traditional garments, are shown with their trusty tools at hand. The elder shepherd holds a hunting horn, its curved mouthpiece and intricately designed horn adorned with geometric patterns. The younger shepherd, meanwhile, brandishes a pike, its sharp tip ready to protect the sheep from any potential threats. The shepherds' clothing is equally as fascinating, with the elder shepherd wearing a long, flowing tunic and a woolen cloak draped over his shoulders. His head is covered by a conical hat, a common accessory for shepherds during this era. The younger shepherd, on the other hand, wears a shorter tunic and a simple belt, with his hair styled in a short, neatly combed manner. This print, taken from the book "French Costumes from King Clovis to Our Days," offers a unique insight into the daily life of shepherds during the 9th century. The meticulous attention to detail and the use of vibrant colors bring the image to life, making it a valuable historical artifact and an intriguing piece of art.
