EDITORS COMMENTS
This handcolored copperplate print depicts Esauret, Count of Toulouse, the illustrious son of Torson, during the 8th century. The intricately detailed engraving by Leopold Massard, taken from the comprehensive work "French Costumes from King Clovis to Our Days," offers a captivating glimpse into the fashion and historical context of the medieval era. Esauret is depicted wearing a skullcap, a common head covering during this period, which was often made of linen or wool and sometimes adorned with precious metals or jewels for the nobility. His upper body is protected by an iron corselet, a type of armor that was widely used during the Middle Ages. The corselet was designed to shield the chest and abdomen, providing essential protection in battle. Underneath the armor, Esauret wears a bodice, which was a fitted garment that was often made of linen or wool and could be decorated with embroidery or other embellishments. The bodice was worn as an undergarment and was sometimes visible when a tunic or surcoat was not worn. The ermine-trimmed cloak draped over Esauret's shoulders is a symbol of his high status and wealth. Ermine fur was highly valued during the Middle Ages due to its rarity and the belief that it possessed protective powers. The ermine was also a symbol of purity and nobility, as the animal was believed to turn white when it saw its reflection in the snow, making it an ideal emblem for the nobility. This exquisite print not only showcases the fashion and style of the medieval era but also provides a window into the rich history of the Counts of Toulouse and their role in European history. The meticulous detail and vibrant colors of the handcoloring bring the image to life, making it a valuable historical and artistic treasure.
