EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "French Revolution: 'Costumes d'avant la Revolution'" takes us back to the 18th century, offering a glimpse into the fashion and social hierarchy of that era. The image showcases three individuals in elaborate costumes, each representing a different facet of society during this tumultuous period. In the foreground stands an abbe, or clergyman, exuding an air of authority and piety. He is accompanied by a small dog, perhaps symbolizing loyalty or companionship amidst the chaos. Behind him are two nobles adorned in extravagant attire, their garments reflecting their privileged status within French society. The attention to detail in this gouache painting by Lesueur Brothers is remarkable; every accessory and hairpiece has been meticulously depicted. It serves as a testament to the importance placed on appearance during this time when one's clothing could signify their position in society. As we gaze upon this artwork housed at Musee Carnavalet in Paris, we are transported back to a time of revolution and revolt. The French Revolution of 1789 was a turning point in history that challenged traditional norms and reshaped societal structures forever. Through this photograph captured by Photo Josse, we can appreciate both the artistic skill behind the painting itself and its historical significance as it captures not only fashion but also hints at the underlying tensions that would ultimately lead to radical change.
