EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph showcases the ceremonial uniform of a Prefect of a Department during the First Empire under Emperor Napoleon I. Created between 1810 and 1825 by Hippolyte Lecomte, this print offers a glimpse into the grandeur and opulence of French military fashion at that time. The Prefect's attire is meticulously detailed, featuring a bicorne hat adorned with a silver cockade, an embroidered blue coat, sash, breeches, buckle shoes, and court sword. The attention to detail extends beyond his clothing to include documents and quill pens resting on his desk—a symbol of his administrative responsibilities. Handcolored by Lorenzo Bianchi and Domenico Cuciniello after Lecomte's original work, this lithograph captures not only the elegance but also the authority associated with this position. It was part of an Italian edition titled "Costumi civili e militari della monarchia francese dal 1200 al 1820" (Civilian and Military Costumes of the French Monarchy from 1200 to 1820), published in Naples in 1825. Through this artwork, we are transported back to the early nineteenth century when France was under Napoleon's rule. The image evokes a sense of pride in both military prowess and fashionable style—an embodiment of power combined with sophistication. This print serves as a testament to the enduring allure of historical uniforms while offering us insight into one particular aspect of French culture during that period.
