The image, created by the skilled hands of E. Lechevallier-Chevignard and masterfully lithographed by A. Didier, L. Flameng, and F. Laguillermie, is taken from the esteemed publication "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, this work was a testament to the meticulous research and dedication of its creator, who aimed to preserve the rich heritage of French fashion history.
