The Milliners Costume
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating coloured engraving that takes us back in time to the bustling streets of 17th to 18th century Paris. This exquisite print, created by the renowned Bonnart Family of Engravers, showcases the artistry and craftsmanship involved in hat making during this era. In this vibrant scene, we are transported into the world of a milliner - a skilled hatter or hat seller. The milliner is depicted as a travelling salesman, carrying an assortment of hats on his arm while wearing an elegant costume befitting his profession. His attire exudes sophistication and style, reflecting the fashion trends prevalent at that time. The focus of the image lies on the process of making moulds for hats. We see the milliner engrossed in his work, meticulously shaping and molding materials to create unique headwear designs. The attention to detail is evident not only in his precise hand movements but also in every aspect captured by Bonnart's expert engraving technique. This print serves as a testament to both the artistry involved in hat making and its significance within society during this period. Hats were not merely accessories; they were symbols of status, fashion statements worn with pride by men and women alike. As we admire "The Milliners Costume" we are reminded of how historical artworks like these allow us glimpses into past traditions and trades that have shaped our present-day understanding of fashion and craftsmanship.
