EDITORS COMMENTS
This handcoloured copperplate engraving from 1798 showcases a woman dressed in the fashion of the time. Her elegant attire reflects the style and trends of the late 18th century, during the Directoire period amidst the French Revolution. The woman wears a stunning spiral turban adorned with jet beads, adding an air of sophistication to her ensemble. Her gauze kerchief is delicately trimmed with velvet and spangles, enhancing her overall look. The white short-sleeve tunic dress she dons features a band at the bottom, adding structure and elegance to her silhouette. The artist's attention to detail is evident in this exquisite print. Every intricate element has been meticulously captured - from the elaborate embroidery on her turban to the fine lacework on her gauze kerchief. This piece comes from Pierre de la Mesangeres Journal des Modes et Dames, a renowned publication that showcased fashionable clothing styles during this era. Illustrated by esteemed artists Carle Vernet, Claude Louis Desrais, and Philibert Louis Debucourt, their collaboration brings life and vibrancy to this beautiful representation of 18th-century fashion. As we gaze upon this remarkable artwork today, it serves as a reminder of how fashion can transcend time and provide us with glimpses into different eras.
