EDITORS COMMENTS
King Charles IX of France, depicted in this stunning handcolored illustration by E. Lechevallier-Chevignard and lithographed by A.J. Lallemand, is shown in his regal attire from the 16th century. The king wears a short cape, or paletot, which was a popular fashion choice during this period. The cape is made of rich fabric, likely velvet or brocade, and is lined with fur for added warmth. The cape is fastened at the neck with a clasp and falls to just above the waist, revealing the elegant white doublet and breeches beneath. Charles IX is also wearing a plumed hat, or bonnet, which adds to his regal appearance. The hat is adorned with a tall, ornate plume, likely made of ostrich or peacock feathers. The king's outfit is completed with white stockings and black shoes. This illustration is from the book "Costumes historiques des XVIe, XVIIe et XVIIIe siecles" (Historical costumes of the 16th, 17th and 18th centuries) by Georges Duplessis, published in Paris in 1867. The book was a comprehensive collection of historical costumes from various periods, and this illustration is a testament to the intricate detail and accuracy of the research and artwork that went into the project. King Charles IX ruled France from 1560 to 1574, during a time of political instability and religious conflict. Despite the challenges he faced, he is remembered for his patronage of the arts and his efforts to promote peace and unity within his kingdom. This illustration captures a moment in time, preserving the memory of the king's fashion and the opulence of the French court during the late 16th century.
