Groom Costume Print – Antique Hand-Colored Lithograph, 1854
This antique hand-colored lithograph, published in 1854 in Album des Voyages Anciens et Modernes by Martial Ardant Frères, depicts an Enlevata or groom in traditional attire. The figure is dressed in a distinctive pink robe, rendered with elegance and precision, representing the attire of a servant or groom in ceremonial or courtly settings.
The costume consists of a long, pleated pink tunic with a white sash trimmed in gold at the waist, suggesting both rank and function. Across his shoulder is draped a golden cord, ending in a plume, which adds decorative flourish. A turban with a feather plume crowns his head, reinforcing his role in a formal or noble household. His footwear consists of pointed slippers, while his overall bearing is one of movement, as if engaged in his duties.
European audiences in the 19th century were fascinated by depictions of Eastern and courtly figures, particularly those associated with service and ceremony. Costumes such as this embodied a blend of exoticism and social hierarchy, illustrating how different roles were visually marked by distinctive garments. The groom’s costume, with its bright color and elegant accessories, was as much a marker of function as it was of style.
Lithographs like this were not only decorative but also intended to be educational, offering readers of the album a sense of the variety of attire encountered across the globe. Today, the print stands as an example of both costume history and the way European publishers represented foreign cultures in the mid-19th century. Its vibrant hand coloring, particularly the rich pink tones, ensures it remains a visually striking piece for collectors.
Condition report: Minor foxing in the margins with light age toning. Colors fresh and vibrant, especially in the pink costume. Plate mark visible. Paper stable with full margins.
Framing tips: A gilt frame with a white or cream mat will emphasize the elegance of the costume, while a darker wood frame with a soft rose-colored mat will bring out the warmth of the pink tones.
