Step into a whimsical world of nightshirts and nostalgia, where tales of grumpy Englishmen in French hotels, monkey tricks, and poetic musings intertwine. Picture a man, weary from travel, wearing a nightshirt in a lithograph from 1903. Or, envision a cozy scene of a couple enjoying tea in bed, their nightshirts adding to the warmth and comfort of the moment, as depicted in a chromolitho card. Delve deeper into the annals of history with the enigmatic figure of John Merrick, portrayed by David Bowie in the film "The Elephant Man," who famously wore a nightshirt as part of his recovery. Poet Nikolay Alekseyevich Nekrasov, in his later years, is captured in an oil painting, pen in hand and nightshirt on, as he penned his last songs. Humor and wit are not absent from this nightshirt narrative, as evidenced by a flea-ridden bedpan card, where even the insects seem to appreciate the comfort of the nightshirt. Lastly, a coup de grâce of this nightshirt journey brings us to the arrest of Changarnier in 1886, depicted in an oil painting on mahogany panel, where the subject, still in his nightshirt, faces his final warning.
