EDITORS COMMENTS
In this 18th-century illustration from "Le Magasin des modes nouvelles francaises et anglaises" (The Shop of the New French and English Modes), published in 1787, a young, fashionable man proudly holds a colossal fur hat known as an androsane. The image, handcolored and expertly lithographed by E. Lechevallier-Chevignard, A. Didier, L. Flameng, and F. Laguillermie, is taken from Georges Duplessis's comprehensive work, "Costumes historiques des XVIe, XVIIe et XVIIIe siecles" (Historical Costumes of the 16th, 17th and 18th centuries), published in Paris in 1867. The young man's elegant attire, with a fashionable waistcoat and breeches, is accentuated by the contrasting texture and richness of the oversized fur hat. The androsane, a popular accessory during the late 1700s, was a symbol of wealth and luxury in France. Made from the pelt of a young polar bear, these hats were often imported from Russia and Norway, making them a status symbol for the European elite. The intricate details of the illustration, from the man's well-groomed hair to the intricate patterns on his waistcoat, provide a glimpse into the opulence and sophistication of 18th-century French fashion. The large fur hat, with its distinctive shape and luxurious fur, adds an element of grandeur and allure to the young man's appearance. This image offers a fascinating look into the world of 18th-century fashion, providing a window into the past and showcasing the timeless appeal of classic style. The androsane, with its striking presence and luxurious materials, remains an enduring symbol of elegance and sophistication, making this illustration a must-have for any fashion history enthusiast or collector.
