EDITORS COMMENTS
This handcolored copperplate engraving, titled "A Parisian Dandy with His Dog," dates back to the early 19th century, circa 1815. The image, taken from Benjamin Rotch's renowned publication "Manners and Customs of the French," showcases the height of Parisian fashion and sophistication during this era. The dapper gentleman, dressed in the latest trends, exudes an air of elegance and refinement. He is adorned in a tailored waistcoat, a crisp shirt with a high collar, and a fashionable cravat. His outfit is completed with a stylish hat and a cane, which he holds with an assured grace. But what makes this engraving truly unique is the presence of his loyal companion, a small dog, at his side. The dog, with its elegant posture and piercing gaze, seems to mirror the dandy's own sense of style and sophistication. The intricate details of their outfits, from the textures of their fabrics to the intricacies of their accessories, are beautifully captured in the handcolored engraving. The Parisian dandy and his dog are depicted against a backdrop of the bustling streets of Paris, filled with the sights and sounds of the city. The engraving offers a glimpse into the fashionable world of the Parisian elite during this period, providing a fascinating insight into the customs and manners of the time. This exquisite image, created by M.S., is a testament to the artistry and craftsmanship of the time. The intricate details and vibrant colors bring the scene to life, transporting us back to the streets of Paris over 200 years ago.
