EDITORS COMMENTS
This handcoloured lithograph, titled "French Women's Fashions of 1789: Dress a la Turque and Chapeau-Bonnette with Roses and a Rainbow Ribbon," is an exquisite example of the opulence and elegance of late 18th-century French fashion. The image, published in Le Bibliophile Jacob's "Historical Costumes of France" in 1852, showcases two popular styles of the era: the "dress a la Turque" and the "chapeau-bonnette." The "dress a la Turque," inspired by the exotic allure of the Ottoman Empire, is depicted in rich, vibrant colors. The model wears a long, flowing robe of deep blue, adorned with intricate gold embroidery and delicate floral patterns. The robe is cinched at the waist with a wide, gold sash, and the sleeves are adorned with voluminous, ruffled cuffs. The overall effect is one of luxurious, otherworldly glamour. The "chapeau-bonnette," a fashionable hat of the period, sits atop the model's head. This small, round hat is trimmed with a lush arrangement of roses and a rainbow-colored ribbon, adding a touch of whimsy and playfulness to the ensemble. The hat's design is complemented by a pair of elegant, feathered earrings and a delicate necklace. The meticulous attention to detail in this handcoloured lithograph is truly remarkable. The delicate shading and intricate patterns bring the image to life, transporting us back to a time of opulence and elegance. This beautiful piece of historical art is a must-have for any fashion enthusiast or history buff, offering a glimpse into the fashion trends of the late 18th century and the enduring allure of French style.
