EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of a valet or servant from the 14th century. Dressed in a short velvet tunic with puff sleeves, this figure exudes elegance and sophistication. The vibrant red stockings add a pop of color to his ensemble, while the cracows or poulaines showcase his fashionable taste. A dagger or misericorde is prominently displayed at his side, symbolizing both protection and status. It serves as a reminder that even though he may be in service to others, he holds power and authority within his role. What truly catches the eye is the gold chalice he carries with grace and reverence. This precious object hints at his involvement in religious ceremonies or perhaps highlights his importance in serving noble households during lavish feasts. The print itself comes from the Gaignieres collection at the Bibliotheque du Roi, showcasing its historical significance. Handcolored by Leopold Massard, this copperplate engraving beautifully brings out every intricate detail of this fascinating costume. As we gaze upon this image, we are transported back in time to an era where fashion was not just about personal style but also about social standing and cultural expression. This valet's attire tells a story of wealth, duty, and refinement - reminding us that even servants played an integral role in shaping history.
