Created by Chataignier around 1800, this coloured engraving offers a glimpse into the fashion and style of that era. The Prefect's uniform is adorned with meticulous details, reflecting his high-ranking position as a civil servant and administrator. The sword at his side symbolizes authority and power, while his elegant hat adds an air of sophistication to his ensemble. A sash gracefully drapes across his chest, signifying his role in judicial matters. Every element of this costume exudes professionalism and dignity, highlighting the importance placed on appearance during this historical period.
