EDITORS COMMENTS
This handcolored illustration, titled "French Carpenter at Work," is an exquisite depiction of a skilled artisan from the 16th century, as captured in the meticulous detail of E. Lechevallier-Chevignard's illustration and expertly lithographed by A.J. Lallemand. The image is taken from Georges Duplessis's renowned publication, "Costumes historiques des XVIe, XVIIe et XVIIIe siecles" (Historical costumes of the 16th, 17th and 18th centuries), published in Paris in 1867. The carpenter is shown in the midst of his craft, intently focusing on the intricate details of his work. He wears a traditional 16th-century French carpenter's outfit, complete with a long-sleeved shirt, waistcoat, and a pair of breeches. The carpenter's apron is adorned with various pockets and tools, including a plane, saw, and chisels. The presence of a church in the background suggests that the carpenter may have been working on a project for the religious institution. The illustration provides a fascinating glimpse into the past, offering insight into the daily life and work of a French carpenter during the 16th century. The high-quality handcoloring and intricate lithography bring the image to life, making it a valuable historical resource and an aesthetically pleasing work of art. This illustration is not only a testament to the rich history of French carpentry but also a reminder of the importance of skilled craftsmanship and the role it played in shaping the world around us.
