EDITORS COMMENTS
This coloured engraving, titled "Parisian lady, time of the Directory" takes us back to the year 1798 in France. The image showcases a fashionable woman dressed in the height of 18th-century Parisian style. Her attire is meticulously detailed and provides a glimpse into the historical fashion trends of that era. The lady's ensemble features an exquisite dress with intricate patterns and delicate ruffles, reflecting the elegance and refinement associated with French culture. She adorns her head with a stylish hat adorned with feathers, adding an air of sophistication to her overall look. A muff completes her outfit, not only serving as a practical accessory but also highlighting her status as someone who can afford such luxurious items. This print is part of "The Book of Historical Costumes" published by Cassell, Petter and Galpin in approximately 1832. Renowned illustrator H[ippolyte Louis] Pauquet skillfully captured this moment from history for posterity. As we admire this enchanting artwork, it transports us back to a time when Paris was at the center of fashion and cultural innovation. It serves as a reminder that clothing has always been more than just fabric; it represents societal norms, personal expression, and historical significance. This print allows us to appreciate both the beauty of artistry and its ability to preserve moments from our past for generations to come.
