EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: "A Gentleman's Elegance in the Napoleonic Era: A Man in Fashionable Attire" This handcoloured lithograph, created by E. Bracquet after an illustration by Francois-Claudius Compte-Calix, transports us back to the fashionable world of the Napoleonic era in France. The image showcases a man of refined taste, dressed in the height of fashion during the Directory period, around 1871. The man is depicted wearing a loose-fitting grey cloth coat with a velvet collar, adding a touch of sophistication and luxury. Beneath the coat, he dons a pink-and-white check waistcoat, its intricate pattern a testament to the meticulous attention to detail that characterized the fashion of the time. The hazelnut colour trousers, paired with soft boots, complete the ensemble, creating an overall impression of comfort and elegance. The woman in the background, engrossed in playing the sheet music on a piano, adds a sense of domestic tranquility to the scene. She wears a voluminous pink dress with black crepe bouffants, adorned with lace and a corsage. Her black bonnet, adorned with a velvet belt and a fichu, completes her outfit. This fascinating plate, taken from "Les Modes Parisiennes sous le Directoire," offers a glimpse into the fashion trends of the period, which was marked by the influence of the French Revolution and the rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. The man's attire, with its combination of practicality and style, reflects the spirit of the times, as well as the enduring appeal of classic, timeless fashion.
