Thank you!
Google translate can't handle fourbisseur. But I found a definition in a French dictionary: Person whose task is to furnish, mount or repair bladed weapons to make them brighter. Also, if you do a Google Image search for "Habit de Fourbisseur" there are a lot of entertaining images from other pages of the same book. I think they might be costumes for pageant entertainers or the invention of the artist to entertain the nobility with the day-to-day of their subjects? |
