French Baroque and Rococo Fashions

Fashion ruled 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 forced the courtiers of Versailles to adopt similarly grand Baroque styles. A lighter fashion sense prevailed at the court of Louis XV, who favored Rococo styles of exquisite refinement. This magnificently rendered, scrupulously researched coloring book features a wide spectrum of both fashion worlds, with detailed and informative captions for each illustration. Dover Original. 45 full-page black-and-white illustrations. 5 color illustrations on covers.
