EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite print showcases a stunning caramel dress designed for presentation at court during the late 18th century. Engraved by Dupin and plate no. 276 from Galeries des Modes et Costumes Francais, this coloured engraving captures the elegance and opulence of aristocratic fashion of that era. The dress features intricate details such as ermine edging, adding a touch of regal sophistication to its design. The profile view highlights the impeccable tailoring and craftsmanship that went into creating this traditional costume fit for royalty. In the royal court, clothing was not merely a means of covering oneself but rather an expression of status and power. This particular ensemble reflects the refined taste and social standing of its wearer, an aristocrat who effortlessly exudes grace and charm. Fashionable courtiers would have eagerly sought after such garments to maintain their position in high society. The richly edged caramel dress exemplifies the prevailing trends in 18th-century fashion while also showcasing individual style within the constraints imposed by tradition. Augustin de Saint-Aubin's illustration beautifully captures every detail, allowing us to appreciate both the artistry involved in creating these garments as well as their historical significance. This print serves as a window into a bygone era when aristocracy reigned supreme, leaving us captivated by its allure even centuries later.
