EDITORS COMMENTS
The infamous hat known as the Cagliostro or the Queen's necklace is a striking piece of fashion history, with its bold colors of red and yellow set against a straw base. This hand-colored lithograph from "Fashions and Customs of Marie Antoinette and her Times" captures the essence of aristocratic style in 18th century France. The hat's name carries with it a hint of scandal, as it is associated with the Affair of the Queen's Necklace, in which Cardinal de Rohan was imprisoned for his role. Despite its controversial origins, this accessory remains an iconic symbol of nobility and high society during the reign of Marie Antoinette. Intricately detailed and meticulously crafted, this image showcases not only the beauty of the hat itself but also provides a glimpse into the world of Madame Eloffe, dressmaker to royalty. The elegant silhouette of a woman wearing this extravagant headpiece speaks to a time when fashion was more than just clothing - it was a statement of status and power. Whether worn by queens or courtiers, hats like these were essential elements in creating elaborate ensembles that defined an era. This print serves as a window into a bygone age where style reigned supreme and every detail mattered.
