EDITORS COMMENTS
In this exquisite handcolored engraving, an elegant man dressed in the fashion of the era of Marie Antoinette is depicted, showcasing the opulence and extravagance of the Ancien Régime's aristocracy. The man wears a blue striped coat, the color of the Bourbon monarchy, over a black waistcoat and breeches. His attire is accessorized with a cane and a tall, fashionable hat adorned with a ribbon and a feather. The man's coat, with its vertical stripes, adds a sense of refinement and sophistication to his appearance. The stripes are accentuated by the contrasting black waistcoat and breeches, creating a visually striking ensemble. The coat's lapels are folded back, revealing a crisp white shirt and a cravat, adding to the man's polished appearance. The woman accompanying the man is equally fashionable, wearing a velvet jacket with silk skirt adorned with intricate floral edging. Her outfit is completed with a feather bonnet, a popular accessory among the ladies of the court. The handcolored engraving, created by A. Lacourriere after an illustration by Francois-Claudius Compte-Calix, captures the essence of the fashionable world of Marie Antoinette's France. The plate, published in Paris in 1869 by CH. Paquien, is a testament to the enduring appeal of the opulent and elegant fashion of the Ancien Régime. This image offers a glimpse into the world of Marie Antoinette's court, where fashion was an expression of power, wealth, and status.
