Description

Fashion dominated the courts of the “Sun King,” Louis XIV (1638–1715), and his successor, Louis XV (1710–1774). The Sun King’s quest for glory and love of conspicuous adornment manifested itself in his apparel, and he required the courtiers of Versailles to adopt in a similar way grand Baroque styles. A lighter fashion sense prevailed on the court of Louis XV, who favored Rococo styles of exquisite refinement.
This magnificently rendered, scrupulously researched coloring book covers 135 years of French styles. Its 45 full-page black-and-white illustrations feature a large spectrum of fashions, depicting costumes of both the nobility and commoners. Beginning with the flowery cavalier clothing of the 1640s, the drawings trace the transition from Baroque to Rococo apparel, with portraits of farmers, street vendors, and aristocrats in formal and on a regular basis get dressed. Every representation is accompanied by an informative caption.
