Fashion ruled the courts of the "Sun
King," Louis XIV (1638-1715), and his successor, Louis XV
(1710-1774). The Sun King's forced the courtiers of Versailles to
adopt his grand Baroque styles. A lighter fashion sense prevailed at
the court of Louis XV, who favored Rococo styles. 45 full-page
black-and-white illustrations.
