EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a collection of male costumes and hats from an 11th century psalter, providing us with a glimpse into the fashion trends of medieval France. The intricate details and vibrant colors depicted in this handcoloured lithograph by Villain after an illustration by Horace de Viel-Castel truly bring these ancient garments to life. Among the figures portrayed is Peter Abelard, a renowned French philosopher, theologian, and logician who lived during the late 11th and early 12th centuries. In this portrait, he is shown kneeling in prayer within the stained glass window of Notre Dame de Chartres. This particular image comes from a series called "Coiffures et Costumes civils" (Civil Hairstyles and Costumes), which forms part of the Psautier du XIe siècle BDM (Psalter of the 11th Century BDM). The attention to detail in capturing not only the clothing but also the hairstyles and accessories is remarkable. This print offers valuable insight into historical costume design, allowing us to appreciate how fashion has evolved over time. Originally published in Treuttel & Wurtz's Collection des costumes, armes et meubles pour servir à l'histoire de la France (Collection of costumes, weapons and furniture for use in French history), this lithograph serves as a testament to both artistic skill and historical preservation. It serves as a reminder that even through visual representations such as illuminated manuscripts like this psalter, we can gain knowledge about our past societies.
