This month, we feature almost the opposite of last month’s Gastronome: De Chasse.
This winded up beauty was unstarched, dark green or “dead leaf” (feuille morte), similar to the Cravate a la Diane. Chasse translated (at least via an online translator, so don’t shoot me native speakers!) means hunting.
The Art of Tying the Cravat: Demonstrated in Sixteen Lessons (1828).
