EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite 17th century print depicts a woman elegantly dressed in the latest town fashion of the time, as captured in Jean de Saint-Jean's "Costumes historiques des XVIe, XVIIe et XVIIIe siecles" (Historical costumes of the 16th, 17th and 18th centuries), published in Paris in 1867. The handcolored illustration by E. Lechevallier-Chevignard brings the image to life, with intricate details showcasing the rich textures and vibrant colors of the woman's attire. The woman wears a voluminous gown with a fitted bodice, adorned with lace and intricate embroidery. A matching farthingale, a popular fashion accessory of the period, is visible beneath the skirt of the gown. A lace collar and cuffs complete the look, adding a touch of sophistication and elegance. The print, lithographed by A. Didier, L. Flameng, and F. Laguillermie, offers a glimpse into the fashion trends of the 17th century. The meticulous attention to detail and the use of handcoloring elevate the image, making it a valuable historical record and an aesthetically pleasing work of art. The publication of "Costumes historiques des XVIe, XVIIe et XVIIIe siecles" marked a significant contribution to the study and documentation of historical costumes. The collection, which included over 200 plates, provided a detailed and accurate record of the fashion trends of the past, making it an essential resource for historians, fashion designers, and enthusiasts alike. This print, with its stunning depiction of a woman in 17th century town costume, offers a captivating glimpse into the fashion history of the time, transporting us back to an era of opulence and elegance.
