EDITORS COMMENTS
This handcoloured lithograph showcases the French mens fashion trends of 1789, specifically among the bourgeoisie, who sought to emulate the English style. The figure on the left wears a long, double-breasted coat with a narrow waist, a popular silhouette of the time. His hair is styled in the "a la Panurge" fashion, which features a high, rounded forelock and a shaved head. The hat, "a la Jacquei," is a tricorn style with a wide brim and a tall, pointed crown, often adorned with a ribbon or feather. The figure on the right dons a similar coat and hat, but with a lighter colour palette and a more relaxed posture. Both men exude an air of sophistication and elegance, reflecting the fashionable trends of the late 18th century in France. This image is taken from "Costumes Historiques de la France," a comprehensive and highly-regarded work on historical costumes by Paul Lacroix and the Administration Librairie in Paris, published in 1852.
