Auguste Racinet (1825-1893), a versatile French artist and scholar, left an indelible mark on the world of design and historical illustration. His significant contributions span both fashion and decorative arts. Notably, “Le Costume historique”, originally published in France between 1876 and 1888, stands as one of his monumental achievements. This six-volume work remains unparalleled in its scope and detail, meticulously documenting clothing, dress, and style from antiquity to the end of the 19th century. Racinet’s exquisite precision shines through in the colored illustrations, accompanied by delightful descriptions and often witty commentary. From ancient Etruscan attire to French women’s couture, the material is organized by culture and subject, making it an invaluable reference for students, designers, artists, and historians alike1. Additionally, Racinet’s artistic prowess extended to decorative arts. As the engraver and artistic director at the Parisian publisher Firmin Didot et Cie, he published “L’Ornement polychrome” in ten installments between 1869 and 1873. This visual record, presented in 100 plates, spans decorative arts from antiquity to the eighteenth century. Racinet’s legacy endures as a rich source of inspiration for anyone interested in clothing, style, and historical design.
