EDITORS COMMENTS
This handcolored etching, created by Auguste Etienne Guillaumot Jr. in 1889, offers a fascinating glimpse into the fashionable attire of a French man during the pivotal year of 1790, as depicted in his publication "Costumes of the French Revolution, 1790-1793." The subject of the image dons an elegant and intricately styled wig, a common accessory for men during this era. The man's outfit consists of a redingote, a frock coat with a long, straight cut and lapels that button up the front, worn over a gilet, or waistcoat, which is adorned with intricate patterns and gold buttons. The man's breeches, held up by garters, are also detailed with decorative elements. He completes his ensemble with a cane and a top hat, featuring a cockade, a symbol of the French Revolution. The meticulous attention to detail in this etching provides an authentic and captivating representation of the fashion trends of the time. The French Revolution, which lasted from 1789 to 1799, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France, and this image offers a unique window into the sartorial choices of the era.
