EDITORS COMMENTS
This handcolored illustration, titled "Trumpeters at a Tournament during the Reign of Francis I of France," showcases the grandeur and opulence of the 16th century European court. The image, created by E. Lechevallier-Chevignard and lithographed by A. Didier, L. Flameng, and F. Laguillermie, is an exquisite example of historical documentation and artistic mastery, taken from the comprehensive work "Costumes historiques des XVIe, XVIIe et XVIIIe siecles" (Historical costumes of the 16th, 17th and 18th centuries) by Georges Duplessis, published in Paris in 1867. The illustration depicts a group of trumpeters, proudly dressed in the regal attire of the time. The musicians wear richly embroidered tunics, adorned with intricate patterns and fleurs-de-lis, the symbol of the French monarchy. Their doublets, cinched at the waist, are layered under the tunics, adding an extra layer of warmth and protection. The stockings, worn with the traditional hose, are held up by garters, while their feet are encased in high, laced boots. The trumpeters are shown with their instruments at the ready, horns held high and standards bearing the royal emblem proudly displayed. Among the musicians, an African trumpeter stands out, adding a touch of diversity to the otherwise European scene. The attention to detail in the illustration is remarkable, from the intricate patterns on the clothing to the realistic depiction of the trumpets and their accessories. This image offers a fascinating glimpse into the past, providing a window into the grandeur and opulence of the French court during the reign of Francis I. The illustration is not only a testament to the artistic skill of its creators but also a valuable historical document, offering insights into the fashion and culture of the time.
