EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite handcoloured lithograph captures the essence of chivalric love and romance in 1500s France. The image features a passionate pair of lovers, their gazes locked in a tender embrace. The man, dressed in a coffee-coloured manteau, a long, flowing garment worn over a tunic, and a crimson pourpoint and pantalon, or fitted jacket and trousers, exudes an air of nobility and refinement. His hose, or stockings, are adorned with intricate patterns, adding to his elegant attire. The woman, wearing a white escoffion hat and a dress in the colour of isabelle, a pale greyish-green hue, looks equally enchanting. Her escoffion, a tall, conical hat with a wide brim, is a popular fashion accessory of the time, while her dress, with its voluminous skirt and fitted bodice, accentuates her feminine curves. This beautiful image is a handcoloured lithograph after a contemporary engraving from Le Bibliophile Jacob, a renowned French publisher of historical costumes and antiquities. The engraving was first published in 1852 as part of the Costumes Historiques de la France series, which aimed to document and preserve the rich history of French fashion and culture. The tender moment depicted in this print is a reminder of the enduring power of love and the importance of romantic connections in the 1500s, a time when chivalry and courtly manners reigned supreme. The intricate details of the lovers' clothing and the delicate handcolouring add to the overall charm and allure of this image.
