1. Title: "A Parisian Dandy of the Directory Period: A Fashionable Man in a Large Black Bicorn Hat, White Cravat, Brown Coat, and Cream Breeches" This handcolored lithograph depicts a dapper gentleman of the late 18th century, during the Directory period in Paris, France. The man is dressed in the height of fashion, donning a large black bicorn hat, a white cravat, a brown coat, and cream breeches. His attire exudes an air of sophistication and elegance, reflecting the opulence and refinement of the French aristocracy during this time. The large black bicorn hat, a popular headgear during the late 1700s, sits atop the man's head at a rakish angle, accentuating his dashing good looks. The white cravat, meticulously tied and adorned with a decorative brooch, adds a touch of refinement to his ensemble. The brown coat, with its double-breasted design and lapels, is worn over the cream breeches, which are held up by a pair of stylish buckled shoes. The man completes his look with a cane, adding a sense of authority and poise to his demeanor. The intricate details of his clothing, from the textured fabric to the delicate embroidery, are expertly captured in this handcolored lithograph. This illustration, created by Francois-Claudius Compte-Calix, is a testament to the fashionable trends of the Parisiennes during the Directory period. The lithograph, published in Paris in 1865, serves as a window into the past, offering a glimpse into the opulent world of French fashion during the late 1700s. This image is a must-have for anyone interested in the history of fashion, the 18th century, or French culture.
