Flower Mania
EDITORS COMMENTS
- A Whimsical Ode to Excessive Floral Splendor in 19th Century Fashion This hand-colored engraving, titled "Flower Mania" or "La Manie des Fleurs," is an exquisite representation of the floral obsession that swept through European fashion during the early 19th century. The image, published in Pierre de la Mesangere's Le Bon Genre in Paris in 1817, showcases a woman dressed in a breathtakingly elaborate costume, adorned with flowers from head to toe. Her dress and voluminous sleeves are covered in an abundance of blooms, mirroring the overflowing basket and vase nearby. The satirical illustration pokes fun at the extreme floral trends of the time, which saw women wearing dresses and hairstyles that were practically indistinguishable from living bouquets. The elaborate sleeves, known as "manches fleuries," were often filled with real flowers, while the dresses themselves were adorned with intricate floral patterns or actual blossoms. The woman in the engraving appears to be taking this trend to an absurd level, with flowers seemingly sprouting from every inch of her attire. This fashion craze, which emerged during the Empire and Regency periods, was influenced by the Napoleonic Wars and the desire to bring a touch of nature into the opulent and often stuffy world of high society. The flowers were not only a symbol of beauty and elegance but also a reminder of the natural world and the simple pleasures it offered. Today, this engraving serves as a fascinating glimpse into the whimsical and often ridiculous excesses of 19th century fashion, providing a delightful reminder of a time when flowers were considered the ultimate accessory.
