1. Title: A Young Italian Man Doffs His Hat in Salute - A Splendid Display of 15th Century Fashion This handcolored illustration, drawn and lithographed by Paul Mercuri with text by Camille Bonnard, transports us back to the 15th century in Italy. The image showcases a young man, dressed in the height of fashion, gracefully doffing his hat in a courteous salute. The young man's attire is a testament to the opulence and elegance of the era. He wears a short, fitted doublet, the upper part of which is adorned with intricate gold and silver embroidery. The doublet is paired with a long, flowing tunic, which is cinched at the waist with a wide, fur-trimmed belt. The tunic's sleeves are also fur-trimmed, adding to the overall regal appearance of the ensemble. Underneath the tunic, the man wears stockings held up by garters, and leather boots with pointed toes. His hat, a fashionable item of the time, is a tall, conical cap with a wide brim, which he holds in his left hand as he raises his right hand in salute. The illustration's meticulous attention to detail, from the intricate embroidery on the doublet to the textured appearance of the fur trimmings, offers a glimpse into the rich and varied world of 15th century Italian fashion. The use of handcoloring adds depth and vibrancy to the image, making it a stunning work of art as well as an invaluable historical record. This illustration, taken from "Historical Costumes from the 12th to 15th Centuries" by Paul Mercuri and Camille Bonnard, published by Levy Fils in Paris in 1860, is a must-see for anyone interested in fashion history, European history, or the art of the 19th century.
