EDITORS COMMENTS
This woodcut print depicts an English nobleman from the 16th century, elegantly dressed in a damask coat adorned with intricate geometric patterns. The coat is lined with luxurious fur, adding an extra layer of warmth and opulence. A scarlet belt cinches the waist of the coat, drawing attention to the nobleman's slender figure. The collar of his shirt is accentuated by a ruff, a fashionable accessory of the time that framed the neck and added a refined touch to the outfit. Atop his head, the nobleman wears a black hat with a narrow brim, which completes his sophisticated appearance. This exquisite image is a handcolored illustration 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 illustration was produced using the lithographic technique by skilled artisans A. Didier, L. Flameng, and F. Laguillermie, under the supervision of the renowned woodcut artist Cesare Vecellio and the colorist E. Lechevallier-Chevignard. The result is a stunningly detailed and accurate representation of the fashion and style of the 16th century English nobility. This print offers a glimpse into the rich history of fashion and the opulence of the English nobility during the 16th century. The intricate damask coat, lined with fur, and the refined accessories such as the ruff and the black hat, all contribute to the nobleman's grandeur and status. The meticulous attention to detail and the high-quality craftsmanship of this woodcut print make it a valuable addition to any collection of historical fashion or art.
