EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning handcolored illustration, drawn and lithographed by Paul Mercuri with text by Camille Bonnard, depicts a German nobleman's costume from the 15th century. The nobleman is shown wearing a tall, conical hat, a common headpiece for the aristocracy during this period. The hat is adorned with a feather and a thin band, adding an air of elegance and sophistication. Under the hat, the nobleman wears a tabard, a long, sleeveless garment that reaches down to his knees. The tabard is richly decorated with intricate patterns and geometric designs, reflecting the wearer's wealth and status. Over the tabard, the nobleman wears a doublet, a fitted jacket with a high neckline and a narrow waist. The doublet is made of luxurious fabric, such as velvet or brocade, and is embellished with gold or silver thread. The nobleman also wears a pair of hose, or stockings, that reach up to his waist. The hose are held up by a belt, which is worn low on the hips. The belt is adorned with a large buckle, adding to the nobleman's grandeur. The nobleman carries a dagger, a common weapon of the time, and a purse, which would have contained his money and other essentials. This illustration is taken from the book "Historical Costumes from the 12th to 15th Centuries" published by Levy Fils in Paris in 1860. The intricate details and vibrant colors of the illustration provide a fascinating glimpse into the fashion and style of the German nobility during the 15th century.
