EDITORS COMMENTS
This handcolored copperplate print depicts Philip V the Tall (1292-1322), also known as Philip the Fair or Philip the Handsome, the King of France during the late medieval period. The image, drawn and engraved by Leopold Massard for the publication "French Costumes from King Clovis to Our Days," offers a detailed and intricate portrayal of the monarch's regal attire and accessories. Philip V is shown wearing a suit of plate armor, complete with a helmet adorned with gold fleurs-de-lys and ermine trim. The armor's chainmail underlayer is visible, adding an authentic touch to the depiction. A flowing cape, also trimmed with ermine, is draped over his shoulders, adding a sense of grandeur and nobility to the image. The gold fleurs-de-lys, the symbol of the French monarchy, are prominently displayed on the armor, cape, and helmet, emphasizing Philip's royal status. The ermine, a symbol of purity and royalty, is also a recurring motif in the print. The meticulous detail and artistry of the engraving, as well as the use of handcoloring, bring the image to life, transporting the viewer back in time to the medieval era. The print serves as an important historical record of the fashion and costume of the period, as well as a testament to the artistic skill of Leopold Massard and the publishers Mifliez in Paris. Philip V the Tall ruled France from 1316 until his death in 1322. He is remembered for his military campaigns, diplomatic skills, and patronage of the arts. This print offers a glimpse into the visual culture of the time, providing valuable insights into the fashion and symbolism of the medieval period.
