EDITORS COMMENTS
This handcolored etching, titled "Costume of Dorlis, Muscadin in the fashion of 1796," offers a glimpse into the elegant and ornate fashion trends of the Directory period in France. The Muscadin, or Dorlis, depicted in the image wears an exquisitely detailed costume that reflects the opulence and refinement of the era. The Muscadin dons a small bicorn cocked hat, a popular headpiece during the late 18th century, with a ribbon adorned with a medallion. His long jacket, known as a redingote or frockcoat, boasts massive lapels and cuffs, adding volume and grandeur to his attire. The jacket is also adorned with long tails that cascade down the back, creating a dramatic effect. Underneath the jacket, the Muscadin wears a high-collar shirt, which is accentuated by a green cravat. He also dons striped breeches, held up by garters, and wears grey gloves to complete his outfit. The Muscadin carries a stick, which was a common accessory during this time. This stunning etching is a masterpiece from the Costumes of the Directory series, created by Auguste Etienne Guillaumot Jr. from designs by Eugene Lacoste and Draner. The series was published in Rouquette, Paris, in 1875. The intricate details and vibrant colors of the etching transport us back in time, allowing us to appreciate the fashion trends of the Directory period and the artistic skill of the artists who captured them.
