EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the "Master of the Royal House" in an exquisite blue coat, engraved by Le Beau. The plate number 256 from Galeries des Modes et Costumes Francais captures the essence of French fashion between 1778 and 1787. The artist, Watteau, Francois Louis Joseph, skillfully depicts a gentleman adorned in traditional attire. The elaborate blue coat is complemented by brass buttons that add a touch of elegance to his ensemble. With a walking stick in hand and leather cullottes completing his morning dress, this dashing figure exudes style and sophistication. His hat, known as chapeau danglais, adds an extra flair to his fashionable appearance. As he takes a leisurely stroll through the palais royal, one cannot help but admire his impeccable taste in clothing. The large buttons on his coat catch the eye while his boots provide both comfort and style for this promenade. This colored engraving offers us a glimpse into the fashion trends of the eighteenth century (xviii). It serves as a reminder of how clothing played an essential role in expressing social status during that era. Whether it be for formal occasions or everyday wear, individuals took great care in selecting their garments. With its intricate details and masterful execution, this illustration transports us back to a time when fashion was not merely about clothes but also about making statements through one's attire.
