EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: "Jean de Chalons, John III, Count of Auxerre and Tonnerre: A Medieval Nobleman in Blue Velvet and Cracows" Jean de Chalons, John III, Count of Auxerre and Tonnerre, is depicted in this exquisite handcolored copperplate engraving by Leopold Massard from the collection "French Costumes from King Clovis to Our Days." Dated 1834, this portrait showcases the Count's elegant attire and the fashion trends of the medieval period. Jean de Chalons wears a striking blue velvet jacket adorned with intricate gold embroidery, symbolizing his noble status. The jacket is fastened with a row of large, round, gold buttons. Beneath the jacket, he dons a white linen shirt with a high collar, which is typical of the medieval era. His lower body is covered by a pair of hose, or stockings, held up by a girdle. The Count's feet are encased in poulaines, which are tall, pointed shoes that were popular during the late Middle Ages. The shoes are decorated with gold lacing and feature distinctly elongated toes. Additionally, he wears a pair of cracows, which are high, laced boots that extend up to the knee. These boots were also a common accessory among the medieval nobility. This meticulously drawn and engraved image offers a fascinating glimpse into the fashion and style of the medieval period. The Count's attire reflects the opulence and grandeur of the nobility during this time, making it an essential addition to any collection of historical costumes or fashion illustrations.
