EDITORS COMMENTS
This image showcases a distinguished member of the Council of Elders, or Conseil des Anciens, during the French Directory era from 1795 to 1799. The French Revolution marked a significant turning point in the country's history, and the establishment of the Directory government represented a period of relative political stability. The man depicted in this hand-colored lithograph, from the renowned collection "Costumes Historiques de la France" by Paul Lacroix and published by the Administration de Librairie in Paris in 1852, proudly wears the attire of a Council member. His tunic, with its simple design and long sleeves, is paired with a cape that falls gracefully behind him. The tricolor plumes on his hat symbolize the revolutionary spirit of the era, with the red, white, and blue colors representing liberty, equality, and fraternity. His hair is parted in the middle, reflecting the fashion trends of the time. The Council of Elders, composed of 250 members, was responsible for legislative initiatives and the election of the five-member Executive Directory. The members were chosen through a complex electoral process, and their term lasted one year. This image offers a glimpse into the appearance of these influential figures during a pivotal moment in French history. The intricate details of the man's attire and the vivid colors of the lithograph serve as a testament to the meticulous craftsmanship of the time, making this print an essential addition to any collection focusing on French history or revolutionary-era costumes.
