EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the elegant streets of Paris in 1814, during the Napoleonic era. The image showcases a distinguished French gentleman exuding an air of sophistication and style. Adorned in a top hat, he wears a long coat with unique horizontal pockets that add an intriguing twist to his ensemble. His fashionable boots complete the look, making him the epitome of chic. The handcoloured copperplate engraving by Pierre-Charles Baquoy beautifully captures every detail of this fashion plate originally created by Horace Vernet for Pierre de la Mesangere’s Journal des Dames et des Modes, Magazine of Women and Fashion. It is evident that both artists possessed immense talent as they bring this dandy-like figure to life on paper. Intricate curls frame his face while sideburns further enhance his debonair appearance. This French gentleman's outfit reflects the trends and tastes prevalent during the First Empire period, showcasing how fashion played a significant role in defining one's status and identity. As we delve into history through this mesmerizing print, it becomes apparent that Napoleon's influence extended beyond politics and military conquests; it permeated even into matters of style. The redingote à poches horizontales worn by our subject exemplifies this connection between power and fashion. With its impeccable attention to detail and artistic flair, this photograph transports us to an era where elegance reigned supreme on the streets of Paris. It serves as a reminder that fashion has always been intertwined with culture and society—a means for individuals to express their individuality while adhering to societal norms. Alamy has once again curated a remarkable piece from their collection—this time capturing not just an image but also a glimpse into history itself through fashion's lens.
