EDITORS COMMENTS
This handcolored illustration, created by Edmond Lechevallier-Chevignard and lithographed by A. Didier, L. Flameng, and F. Laguillermie, transports us back to the 16th century in Europe, specifically to the German lands, where this elegantly armed arquebuser stands proudly. The arquebuser, a soldier specializing in the use of arquebuses, is depicted wearing a suit of chainmail armor that covers his entire body, protecting him from the harsh realities of the battlefield. The intricately woven links of the armor are enhanced by the contrasting colors of the illustration, adding to its visual appeal. The arquebuser's ensemble is not only practical but also fashionable for the time. His puffed sleeves, adorned with intricate lace and fabric details, are a testament to the opulence and extravagance of the era. The patterned stockings, which peek out from under his armor, add a touch of elegance and refinement to his militaristic appearance. This illustration is taken from Georges Duplessis' "Costumes historiques des XVIe, XVIIe et XVIIIe siecles" (Historical costumes of the 16th, 17th and 18th centuries), published in Paris in 1867. The meticulous attention to detail and the vibrant colors of the illustration provide a fascinating glimpse into the fashion and history of the time, making it a valuable addition to any collection of historical costumes and military memorabilia.
