EDITORS COMMENTS
This handcoloured lithograph, published by Martinet in Paris during the 1880s, depicts a woman in an intricately detailed costume as a sutler, or vivandière, to the musketeers. The vivandière was a crucial figure in the military camps of the past, responsible for selling essential supplies and provisions to soldiers. In this depiction, she is dressed in a vibrant and authentic Mexican national costume, complete with a voluminous skirt, intricately embroidered bodice, and a wide-brimmed hat adorned with flowers and feathers. The musketeers, represented by two men in the background, are shown in their iconic uniforms, adding to the historical authenticity of the scene. The woman's regal posture and confident expression suggest that she is not only a skilled businesswoman but also an accomplished actress or performer. This lithograph was likely produced for use as a decorative print or for use in the opera or theatre, as such elaborate costumes would have been a common sight at masquerade balls and other fancy dress parties in Paris during this time. The work of renowned lithographers Alexandre Lacauchie and Frères Hautecoeur is evident in the high-quality handcolouring, which adds depth and richness to the image. The intricacy and detail of this print make it a fascinating glimpse into the past, offering a glimpse into the world of military camps, theatrical performances, and the opulent masquerade balls of 19th-century Paris. Whether used as a decorative piece or as a source of inspiration for cosplay or historical reenactment, this print is sure to captivate and delight.
