EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving from 1850 showcases women dressed in fig-leaf dresses and hats, holding leaf parasols. The image exudes a sense of theatricality and fancy dress costumes, reminiscent of a bygone era. These unique outfits were inspired by Victor Hugo's quote: "The first crinoline was a fig leaf. So here is the second". It is evident that this ensemble was designed to be eye-catching and unconventional. Handcoloured by Gilloy after an illustration by Alfred Grevin, this print is part of Les Filles d'Eve, an album featuring various historical disguises. The attention to detail in the engraving highlights the intricate costume design, with garland shoes completing the look. These fantastical figures resemble fairies or mythical creatures with their leafy attire. Their feminine grace adds to their allure as they hold their delicate leaf parasols against a backdrop of botanical beauty. This artwork not only reflects fashion trends of the time but also demonstrates the imaginative nature of French culture during the nineteenth century. It serves as a reminder that fashion can be both whimsical and inventive. Bridgeman Images presents this enchanting print from its collection, capturing a moment where art meets imagination in an exquisite blend of botany and fashion history.
