EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking print, titled "Fashionable Man Incroyable, France, 18th Century," is a captivating glimpse into the opulence and elegance of the Ancien Régime era in France. The image, created by Carle Vernet and hand-colored by E. Lechevallier-Chevignard, offers a detailed and vibrant portrayal of a fashionable man of the time, dressed in the latest Incroyable style. The Incroyable fashion emerged in the late 18th century and was characterized by its extravagant and exaggerated silhouette. The man in this print wears a long, flowing robe with a narrow waist and voluminous hips, creating an illusion of an inverted triangle shape. The robe is adorned with intricate gold brocade and silver lace, adding to the luxurious and ornate appearance. The man's tall, high-heeled shoes and powdered wig complete the look, which was popular among the French aristocracy. The print was published in Georges Duplessis' "Costumes historiques des XVIe, XVIIe et XVIIIe siecles" (Historical costumes of the 16th, 17th and 18th centuries), a comprehensive and authoritative work on the fashion and costumes of the past. The image was lithographed by A. Didier, L. Flameng, and F. Laguillermie, showcasing their exceptional skill and attention to detail. This print is a valuable historical document that offers a glimpse into the fashion trends and cultural norms of the 18th century in France. It is a testament to the extravagance and opulence of the Ancien Régime era and serves as a reminder of the enduring influence of fashion on society and culture.
