EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases two distinct figures from the 17th century under the reign of King Louis XIV. On one side stands a Knight of Saint Louis, adorned with the prestigious Order of Saint Louis, symbolizing his loyalty and bravery in service to the king. His regal presence exudes power and nobility, reflecting the opulence and grandeur of French society during this time. On the other side stands a Laitiere, or dairymaid, engrossed in her work. Her simple attire and humble demeanor contrast starkly with the knight's elaborate costume. She represents an essential part of everyday life in that era - someone who toiled diligently to provide sustenance for others. The engraving captures not only these two individuals but also offers a glimpse into French civilization at that time. It reveals elements such as fashion trends, hairstyles, accessories like hats and hairpieces worn by both men and women alike. Moreover, it highlights societal divisions between different classes - from high-ranking knights to common workers like dairymaids. This image serves as a testament to how diverse populations coexisted within France during this period. Through this historical lens, we are transported back centuries ago when chivalry reigned alongside hard labor; where milk was delivered by hand while knights protected their kingdom. The print preserves these moments frozen in time for us to appreciate today.
