About This Item
1871 EXQUISITE Lacroix Illustrated Middle Ages Costumes Knights Jesters Bizarre
Paul Lacroix was a 19th-century French author whose books covered a broad set of topics, including some controversial. Lacroix wrote about ballets, costumes, romance, masquerades, heraldry, religion in the military, and the history of prostitution. He also wrote a book, "Sciences and Letters of the Middle Ages," which covers the studies of alchemy and the occult sciences, as well as an important chapter on heraldry. Engravings depict monsters, bizarre animals, dragons, deformed humans, torture scenes, scalping, maps, flags, and more!
This beautiful example, 'Moeurs, Usages et Costumes', features 15 chromolithograph engravings depicting costumes and clothing from the Middle Ages including ornate knight armor for both men and horses, female dresses, court jesters, as well as in-text images of bizarre occurrences like catching giant fish and chess games.
