A pelisse, also known as a spencer, was a fashionable garment worn by ladies during the years 1815-1820. It was often made of luxurious materials and adorned with intricate details. The they are be seen in various forms of art throughout history. In Mikhail Lermontov's painting titled "Lieutenant Andrew Finucane, 10th Light Dragoons, " we catch a glimpse of the military influence on fashion during this era. The lieutenant is depicted wearing a pelisse coat, showcasing its practicality and style. Another depiction of the they are be found in the trade card by Fisher, Nixon, Howarth & Fisher. This colored engraving showcases a man and woman dressed in costumes from 1806, both donning elegant pelisses that add an air of sophistication to their attire. Even dressmakers recognized the popularity of the pelisse during this time period. A dressmaker's bill from around 1816 reveals that these garments were highly sought after by fashionable women who wanted to stay up-to-date with the latest trends. The influence of military fashion is further highlighted in Leopold Massard's hand-colored lithograph depicting a Colonel-General in English Hussars during the Napoleonic era. His striking uniform includes a stunningly detailed pelisse coat that exudes authority and elegance. Beyond Europe, even Turkish men embraced the trend for outerwear with their own version called "pelise. " In Constantinople, one can find illustrations showing Turkish men proudly sporting these coats as part of their traditional attire. The versatility and timeless appeal of the it can evident not only through historical depictions but also through its presence on stage. Mr David Garrick portrayed Tancred in James Thomson's play "Tancred and Sigismunda" while wearing an exquisite example of this garment. Fast forward to more recent times - Jean Peszel created two beautiful examples: Ladys Pelisses from 1937 and 1935/1942.
