EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "French Costume 1700" takes us back in time to the elegant and extravagant fashion of the 18th century. The image showcases a collection of various French costumes, each representing a different social class and occupation during that era. From left to right, we see a colonel of dragons exuding authority and power, followed by an officer of the Swiss Guard displaying his regal attire. A gentleman in domestic costume stands next to them, embodying sophistication and refinement. The infantry of the line portrays strength and discipline, while citizens under Louis XVI are depicted with their distinctive style. The guard and bodyguard stand tall in their uniforms, symbolizing loyalty and protection. Gentlemen dressed impeccably showcase their fashionable garments, reflecting the opulence prevalent at that time. An officer of hussars dons an elaborate outfit with intricate details, while a grenadier embodies military might. Lastly, an abbe completes this ensemble with his religious attire. Each character represents a unique facet of French society during the reigns of Louis XV and Louis XVI. With its rich historical significance captured through meticulous detail by Albert Kretschmer and Carl Rohrbach in 1882's "The Costumes of All Nations" this print transports us into a world where clothing was not just practical but also served as an expression of status and identity.
