EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph from 1825 showcases the costume of a revolutionary commoner or sans culotte during the French Revolution in 1793. The print, created by Hippolyte Lecomte and handcolored by Lorenzo Bianchi and Domenico Cuciniello, offers a vivid glimpse into the fashion and style of this tumultuous period. The man depicted in the lithograph exudes an air of defiance and determination. He wears a distinctive red Phrygian cap adorned with a tricolor cockade, symbolizing his allegiance to the revolution. His attire consists of a brown carmagnole coat, shirt, trousers, and sabots or clogs - practical clothing that reflects his status as part of the working class. In his hands, he holds a pike - an emblematic weapon associated with popular uprisings during this time. This detail further emphasizes his role as an active participant in shaping the course of history. The lithograph not only captures the physical appearance but also serves as a visual representation of the spirit and ideals that fueled the French Revolution. It provides valuable insight into how ordinary individuals played significant roles in challenging social hierarchies and advocating for change. This print is part of Lecomte's larger work titled "Costumi civili e militari della monarchia francese dal 1200 al 1820" (Civilian and military costumes of the French monarchy from 1200 to 1820). Its inclusion in private collections speaks to its historical significance and artistic value.
