]]> The City Council of the city of Saragossa receives a request from the Casa de Misericordia of that city to provide 400 poor people with a certain amount of meat for each day. These poor, of both sexes and all ages, help the Casa de Misericordia by working with wool, linen and silk. The request was sent to Ferdinand VI who accepted it on the grounds that it was “for the known benefit of the public cause”.

The post Dressing in the French style according to the occupations of young people in Madrid, 1751-1800 first appeared on History Lab.

]]> During the second half of the 18th century, young people in Madrid showed a change in trends with respect to the professional groups who wore French garments. If at the beginning of the century it was the military, nobles and officers of the Royal Household who most used Gallic clothing, the “fashion” gradually spread to the bourgeois classes linked to education, technical competence, security, doctors and apothecaries. Twenty percent of this group was now above the military, the nobility and the Royal Household (4%, 5% and 6% respectively), as well as clerks, businessmen and those connected with the guilds and crafts. Overall, French-style dress became the fashion throughout the 18th century.
