EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning handcoloured steel engraving captures the essence of fashion during the reign of Henri III in 1586. The intricate details and vibrant colors bring to life the elaborate costume worn by the porter depicted in the print. Created by Polidor Pauquet after Gaignieres, this piece is part of the Pauquet Brothers' "Modes et Costumes Historique" (Historical Fashions and Costumes) collection, originally published in Paris in 1865.
Hippolyte and Polydor Pauquet, who operated a successful publishing house in 19th century Paris, specialized in producing beautifully illustrated books on various subjects including costume, birds, butterflies, anatomy, and natural history. Their dedication to detail and craftsmanship is evident in this exquisite engraving.
The porter's attire reflects the opulence and extravagance of French court fashion during that time period. From his ornate hat to his ruffled collar and doublet adorned with intricate patterns, every aspect of his outfit exudes sophistication and elegance.
This print serves as a window into a bygone era, allowing us to appreciate not only the artistry involved but also gain insight into historical clothing trends. It is a testament to the skill of both the original artist Gaignieres and engraver Polidor Pauquet that their work continues to captivate viewers centuries later.
