EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite handcolored lithograph captures the elegant and refined fashion sense of the 18th century, as depicted in "Fashions and Customs of Marie Antoinette and her Times" by Comte de Reiset, published in Paris in 1885. The image showcases a woman dressed in a stunning silk redingote, a fashionable garment of the time, paired with a straw hat and a cane. The redingote, a coat with a long, tight bodice and a full, flowing skirt, was a popular choice for formal occasions during the late 1700s. The woman in the print wears her redingote with a sense of grace and sophistication, accentuated by the elegant straw hat adorned with a delicate ribbon and a feather. The cane she holds adds an air of confidence and poise to her demeanor. The intricate details of the silk fabric, the delicate folds, and the vibrant colors are beautifully rendered in the handcolored lithograph, giving the image a lifelike quality. The print is a testament to the opulence and grandeur of the French court during the reign of Marie Antoinette at Versailles. It was published by Madame Eloffe, a renowned dressmaker and linen-merchant to the Queen and ladies of the court. The journal, which documented the latest fashion trends and customs of the time, was a must-have for anyone interested in the world of Marie Antoinette and the French aristocracy. This image offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to an era of elegance, refinement, and luxury. The woman in the print embodies the spirit of the 18th century, a time when fashion was an expression of wealth, power, and status. The intricate details and vibrant colors of the handcolored lithograph make it a true work of art, a treasure for any history or fashion enthusiast.
