EDITORS COMMENTS
Louis I, Duke of Bourbon (1279-1342), is depicted in this stunning handcolored copperplate drawing and engraving by Leopold Massard, taken from the comprehensive work "French Costumes from King Clovis to Our Days." The Duke is shown in his ceremonial robes, adorned with the rich symbolism of his noble lineage and the power of his position. The Duke wears a long, flowing cape, lined with ermine fur, which was a traditional symbol of rank and wealth in medieval Europe. The ermine pelts were often obtained through hunting expeditions, further emphasizing the Duke's prowess and leadership. The Duke's coat of arms, featuring the three fleurs-de-lis and the armorial of Auvergne, is prominently displayed on the front of his robe and on his tall, pointed hat. The Duke's necklace, made of precious stones and gold, adds to the opulence of his attire. The crown on his head, with its intricate design and precious gems, signifies his ducal status and royal connections. The Duke's regal bearing and proud expression convey his confidence and authority. This image provides a fascinating glimpse into the fashion and symbolism of the medieval court, and the importance of heraldry and noble lineage in defining one's identity and position in society. The meticulous detail and vibrant colors of the handcolored copperplate drawing and engraving bring the Duke to life, transporting us back to a time of chivalry, honor, and grandeur.
