EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the ceremonial costume of gentlemen deputies of the three orders at the States General in 1789, during a crucial period in French history. The image, captured by Leonard de Selva, beautifully captures the intricate details and symbolism behind this historical attire. The three orders represented in this photograph - clergy, nobility, and commoners - were significant players in the political landscape of pre-revolutionary France. Each order had its distinctive role and responsibilities within society. This ceremonial costume served as a visual representation of their status and power. The engraving exudes an air of elegance and grandeur with its ornate designs and rich fabrics. It is evident that every element was carefully chosen to convey a sense of authority and importance. From the regal capes adorned with symbols representing each order to the meticulously crafted accessories, every detail speaks volumes about these gentlemen deputies' roles within society. This image not only provides us with a glimpse into 18th-century fashion but also serves as a reminder of the turbulent times that led to one of history's most significant events - the French Revolution. It encapsulates both tradition and change, highlighting how societal structures were being challenged during this transformative period. Leonard de Selva's skillful photography allows us to appreciate not just the aesthetic beauty but also understand the historical context behind this ceremonial costume worn by gentlemen deputies at such a pivotal moment in French history.
