EDITORS COMMENTS
In this striking handcoloured lithograph, Louis, 3rd Duke of Aumont, Marquis de Villequier (1667-1723) is depicted in his ceremonial robes for the coronation of King Louis XV in 1722. The Duke, who served as a Grand Master of the Artillery of France, wears an elegant ermine-trimmed robe and a tall, ornate hat adorned with feathers and a cross. His chest is bedecked with various orders and medals, signifying his high rank and distinguished military career. The Duke's expression is serious yet proud, reflecting the solemnity of the occasion. The intricate details of his attire, from the embroidered patterns on the robe to the delicate folds of the ermine fur, are beautifully rendered in the lithograph. The background is kept simple, with a plain gold backdrop that allows the Duke to stand out prominently. This image is taken from the "Costumes Historiques de la France" portfolio by Paul Lacroix, published by Le Bibliophile Jacob in Paris in 1852. The collection, which consists of over 200 lithographs, is a valuable resource for scholars and enthusiasts of French history and culture. The meticulous attention to detail in the lithographs, as well as the historical accuracy of the costumes depicted, make them an invaluable record of the fashion and customs of the Ancien Régime. The Duke of Aumont's coronation attire is a testament to the grandeur and opulence of the French court during the early 18th century. The lithograph serves as a reminder of the rich history and cultural heritage that France has to offer, and the continued importance of preserving and celebrating it.
