EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: "Jean I, Duke of Bourbon: A Nobleman of the Late Middle Ages" This exquisite handcoloured lithograph depicts Jean I, Duke of Bourbon, also known as Jean I, Duke of Bourbon, Duc de Bourbon, Comte de Clermont et d'Auvergne (1381-1434). The nobleman is shown in his full regalia, a testament to the opulence and grandeur of the late Middle Ages. The image is a meticulously crafted reproduction from an Armorial of Auvergne, which is part of the extensive portfolio VI 19 from Le Bibliophile Jacob, published by Paul Lacroix in Paris in 1852. Jean I was a significant figure in French history, serving as a prominent military leader and a key player in the political landscape of the time. He was the eldest son of Louis I, Duke of Bourbon, and Marie de Berry, and he inherited the titles of Duke of Bourbon, Count of Clermont, and Count of Auvergne upon his father's death in 1410. The intricate details of Jean I's attire in this lithograph reflect the lavishness and sophistication of the late medieval nobility. He is dressed in a rich, velvet robe, adorned with ermine fur and a collar of the Order of the Star. The duke's headdress, known as a "bonnet rouge," features a tall, conical shape, symbolizing his high rank and power. The lithograph also showcases the duke's sword, a symbol of his martial prowess, and his sceptre, a symbol of his royal authority. This image offers a glimpse into the grandeur and majesty of the late Middle Ages, providing a valuable insight into the fashion, culture, and history of the period. The meticulous craftsmanship of the handcoloured lithograph by Leopold Massard further enhances the image's allure, making it a must-have for any history enthusiast or art collector.
