EDITORS COMMENTS
This handcolored etching, titled "Costume of Dorlis, Muscadin in the fashion of 1796," offers a fascinating glimpse into the elegant and intricate fashion trends of the late 18th century. The subject of the image, Dorlis the Muscadin, is depicted wearing a small bicorn cocked hat, a symbol of the French Revolutionary era. The long jacket he wears boasts enormous lapels and cuffs, adding volume and grandeur to his attire. A high-collar shirt, fastened with buttons, peeks out from beneath the jacket, while a green cravat adds a pop of color to the monochromatic outfit. Breeches, held up by garters, and grey gloves complete Dorlis's ensemble. In his hand, he carries a cane, adding an air of sophistication and authority to his appearance. The etching, created by Auguste Etienne Guillaumot Jr. in 1875, is a beautiful representation of the costumes from the Directory period in France. These etchings were made from designs by Eugene Lacoste and Draner, based on prints from the era between 1795 and 1799. The intricate details and vibrant colors of this etching transport us back in time, allowing us to appreciate the opulence and elegance of fashion during the late 18th century.
