Eugène Lacoste was a French painter and costume designer who lived from 1830 to 1906. He was known for his work on theatre productions and operas. In 1882-1883, Lacoste created a series of costume sketches for a production of William Shakespeare's Henry VIII. It is likely that Lacoste's sketches were intended to create historically accurate costumes for the characters in the play, including Henry VIII. These sketches may provide an insight into the clothing and fashion of the period in which Henry VIII lived.
