EDITORS COMMENTS
This handcolored lithograph, titled "Man in Wool Redingote in the Color of London-Chimney," is an exquisite example of 18th-century fashion as depicted in the renowned publication, "Fashions and Customs of Marie Antoinette and her Times," by Comte de Reiset, published in Paris in 1885. The image showcases a man elegantly dressed in a wool redingote, a fashionable coat with a long, hip-length skirt and short, fitted waistcoat. The unique twist to this ensemble lies in its striking color: a deep, smoky grey reminiscent of London chimney soot. The redingote's sailor sleeves, adorned with white cuffs and blue buttons, add a nautical touch to the otherwise somber outfit. The man's cravat and waistcoat are also in contrasting white, drawing attention to the intricate patterns and textures of the wool fabric. This print, sourced from the extensive archives of Madame Eloffe, dressmaker and linen-merchant to the Queen and ladies of the French court, offers a glimpse into the fashion trends of the time. The intricate details of the man's attire, as well as the meticulous hand-coloring, reveal the exquisite craftsmanship and attention to detail that characterized the fashionable world of Versailles during the late 1700s. The "Man in Wool Redingote in the Color of London-Chimney" is not only a testament to the fashionable eccentricities of the 18th century but also a captivating work of art that continues to intrigue and inspire. This rare and beautiful lithograph invites us to explore the rich history of fashion and the stories it tells about the people and times of the past.
