EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite handcoloured lithograph captures the elegance and sophistication of French women's evening fashions during the Napoleonic era, specifically from the year 1810. The image, created by Leopold Massard for Paul Lacroix's "Costumes Historiques de la France" published by Administration de Librairie in Paris in 1852, showcases an intricately designed evening dress that was popular during this time. The dress features a low decollete neckline, accentuating the wearer's graceful neck and shoulders. The bodice is fitted and boned, cinching the waist and creating an hourglass silhouette. The voluminous skirt is gathered and falls in soft, flowing folds, with a train trailing behind. The dress is completed with a turban-style headdress, adding a touch of exoticism and mystery to the ensemble. The intricate details of the dress are beautifully rendered in the handcoloured lithograph, with delicate floral patterns adorning the bodice and sleeves. The fabric appears to be a rich, dark hue, possibly velvet or satin, adding to the luxurious and opulent feel of the gown. The Napoleonic era was known for its grandeur and extravagance, and this evening dress perfectly encapsulates the fashion trends of the time. The use of a turban-style headdress was particularly popular during this period, as it was seen as a nod to the Middle Eastern influences that were prevalent in European fashion. This stunning image provides a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time of elegance, sophistication, and opulence. It serves as a reminder of the importance of fashion in expressing one's identity and status during historical periods, and the enduring allure of the past in shaping contemporary fashion trends.
