EDITORS COMMENTS
This handcoloured copperplate engraving from Benjamin Rotch's "Manners and Customs of the French" transports us back to circa 1815, showcasing a ship pilot of Le Havre in his distinctive attire. The pilot is depicted wearing a striped shirt, shorts over trousers, and a stylish hat, embodying the unique fashion sense of the time.
The intricate details captured in this print offer a glimpse into the early 19th-century lifestyle and customs of the French people. From the buckles on his shoes to the stripes on his shirt, every element tells a story of tradition and individuality.
As we admire this piece of artistry, we are reminded of the rich history and cultural diversity that defines Europe. The image evokes a sense of nostalgia for a bygone era when style was as important as function for those navigating the seas.
Through this engraving, we can appreciate not only the skillful craftsmanship of Rotch but also gain insight into the daily life of individuals like this ship pilot who played an essential role in maritime trade during that period.
Let us cherish this snapshot from history as we reflect on how fashion has evolved over centuries while still retaining elements that connect us to our past.
