EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite handcolored print depicts Antoine de Saint-Chamans, a prominent figure in French society during the 17th century. The image, taken from Georges Duplessis' "Costumes historiques des XVIe, XVIIe et XVIIIe siecles" (Historical costumes of the 16th, 17th and 18th centuries), published in Paris in 1867, is a testament to the grandeur and elegance of the era. Antoine de Saint-Chamans, dressed in the height of 17th century fashion, is shown wearing a voluminous doublet, a close-fitting jacket with a high standing collar, and a long, flowing cloak. The intricate details of his attire are beautifully rendered in this handcolored illustration, which was lithographed by A. Didier, L. Flameng, and F. Laguillermie under the direction of Edmond Lechevallier-Chevignard. The rich textures and vibrant colors of the print bring the historical figure to life, transporting us back in time to the opulent world of the French aristocracy. The intricate patterns and embellishments on the fabric, as well as the meticulously rendered details of the accessories, such as the lace cuffs and the ornate buckle on the cloak, are a testament to the skill and artistry of the lithographers and illustrators of the time. This print, which is part of the extensive collection of historical costumes in the Bibliotheque Imperiale, offers a unique glimpse into the fashion and style of the 17th century, providing valuable insights into the history of clothing and the cultural context of the time. It is a beautiful and intriguing reminder of the elegance and refinement of the past, and a testament to the enduring allure of historical fashion.
