EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Foot valet to the king's household, 17th century" takes us back in time to the opulent courts of the past. The image showcases a foot valet, dressed in exquisite period attire, attending to his duties with utmost grace and precision. The foot valet was an essential figure in the royal household during the 17th century. Serving as a personal attendant to nobility, their role encompassed various tasks such as assisting with dressing and grooming, ensuring impeccable hygiene standards were maintained, and providing general support to their esteemed masters. The hand-colored illustration by E. Lechevallier-Chevignard beautifully captures this historical moment. Every intricate detail of the costume is meticulously depicted, showcasing the craftsmanship and elegance that characterized this era. Originally painted by Jean-Baptiste Martin, this lithograph brings Martin's work to life through Lechevallier-Chevignard's artistic interpretation. The collaboration between these talented artists resulted in a visually stunning representation of 17th-century court life. This particular print is part of Georges Duplessis' renowned publication "Costumes historiques des XVIe, XVIIe et XVIIIe siècles" which delves into historical costumes from different centuries. Duplessis himself was a respected curator at Bibliotheque nationale while Lechevallier-Chevignard gained recognition for his artistry and interior design expertise. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece of history captured on paper, we are transported back in time to witness firsthand the grandeur and sophistication that once graced royal households during one of Europe's most fascinating periods.
