EDITORS COMMENTS
This print transports us back to the 14th century, offering a glimpse into the fashion choices of the bourgeois man. Dressed in an ensemble that reflects his social standing, he exudes a sense of sophistication and style. The blue hat atop his head adds a touch of elegance, while his grey robe lined with cat fur showcases both luxury and practicality. Puff sleeves with arm holes adorn his attire, providing comfort without compromising on fashion. However, it is worth noting that by royal decree during this era, certain furs such as ermine and squirrel were reserved exclusively for the nobility. This left the bourgeoisie with cat fur as their alternative choice. The attention to detail in this miniature from a Froissart manuscript is truly remarkable. Handcolored copperplate drawing and engraving by Leopold Massard beautifully bring out every intricate feature of this bourgeois man's outfit. As we admire this piece from "French Costumes from King Clovis to Our Days" we are reminded not only of the historical significance but also how clothing can reflect societal hierarchies and regulations. It serves as a reminder that even in matters of personal style, there have always been rules dictated by those in power. This print captures an exquisite moment frozen in time - one that allows us to appreciate both the artistry behind it and gain insight into the complexities of medieval society.
