EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning handcoloured lithograph depicts a French courier from the Napoleonic era, meticulously captured by the skilled artist Leopold Massard for the publication "Costumes Historiques de la France" by Paul Lacroix and Le Bibliophile Jacob. The image showcases the intricate details of the courier's livery, which was essential for the efficient operation of the imperial postal service during this period. The courier is dressed in a suit consisting of a long, double-breasted coat with wide lapels, fastened with a row of brass buttons. The coat is worn over a pair of high-waisted breeches, held up by a leather belt. A white shirt and cravat complete the upper attire. The courier's most distinctive accessory is the tall, cylindrical toque adorned with a rooster crest, symbolizing the Gallic rooster and the French nation. In his left hand, the courier holds a long, curved cane, which was not only a fashionable accessory but also served as a practical tool for navigating the uneven terrain of the era's roads. In his right hand, he carries a satchel, likely filled with important documents or correspondence. The courier's uniform is a testament to the meticulous attention to detail and the pride taken in the appearance of the imperial postal service during the Napoleonic era. The handcoloured lithograph adds an extra layer of richness and depth to the image, making it a captivating piece of historical art.
