EDITORS COMMENTS
This chromolithograph, entitled "Fashions of French and English Men," showcases the distinctive attire of the late 16th century, as depicted in Dr. Jakob Heinrich von Hefner-Alteneck's seminal work, "Costumes, Artworks and Appliances from the Middle Ages to the 17th Century." In this intriguing image, we find two figures representing the fashion trends of France and England during this period. The French gentleman, dressed in the top left corner, dons a wide-brimmed hat adorned with a feather and a voluminous cape, which falls gracefully over his shoulders. The cape, often referred to as a "capotain," was a popular outerwear choice for the French aristocracy during this time. The man's attire is completed with a ruff, a high, starched collar that was a hallmark of fashionable dress in the late 16th century. In stark contrast, the English gentleman, depicted in the bottom right corner, wears a short doublet, fitted hose, and carries a sword and a round targe or shield. The doublet, a form-fitting jacket, was a common choice for men's formal wear during this era. The hose, which covered the legs from the waist to the ankles, were often worn with garters to hold them up. The English gentleman's attire is completed with a round targe or shield, a defensive weapon that was popular among the English military during this period. This image, created by Dr. Hefner-Alteneck and lithographed by C. Regnier in 1889, offers a fascinating glimpse into the rich and varied fashion trends of the late 16th century, providing us with a window into the past and a reminder of the intricate and ornate clothing that defined this era.
