EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite handcolored illustration, drawn and lithographed by Paul Mercuri with text by Camille Bonnard, presents a captivating portrait of a young French woman's attire during the 14th century. The illustration is taken from the comprehensive work "Historical Costumes from the 12th to 15th Centuries," published by Levy Fils in Paris in 1860. The young woman's costume is a stunning representation of the elegance and intricacy of fashion during the late medieval period. She wears a fitted bodice, laced up the front, with a low-cut neckline and long, tight sleeves. Over the bodice, she dons a voluminous, flowing gown, adorned with elaborate embroidery and decorative patterns. The hem of the gown is trimmed with fur, adding a touch of warmth and luxury. Her hair is styled in intricate braids and adorned with a diadem, further emphasizing her youth and beauty. The young woman's attire reflects the opulence and sophistication of the French aristocracy during the 14th century, a time of cultural and artistic flourishing. The meticulous detail and vibrant colors of this handcolored illustration bring the costume to life, transporting us back in time to an era of grandeur and elegance. The work of Mercuri and Bonnard serves as an invaluable resource for those interested in the history of fashion and the cultural context of the late medieval period.
