EDITORS COMMENTS
This handcoloured lithograph depicts a noblewoman of the late 17th century, dressed in the elegant and intricate attire of the reign of William III and the early years of Queen Anne (1689-1707). The subject wears a fashionable blue dress adorned with delicate lace trim, a trend that was popular during this period. Her headdress is a masterpiece of its own, featuring an extravagant arrangement of feathers and lace that frames her face and adds a regal touch to her appearance. White gloves complete the refined look, while a black masquerade mask, held in her hand, hints at the mysterious and playful nature of the masquerade balls that were a common social event during this time. The inspiration for this image comes from various historical sources, including a portrait of Queen Mary by the renowned Dutch engraver Jacob Visscher, as well as descriptions of the dress of the period found in works such as Farquhar's comedies, Swift's writings, and Mrs. Thompson's novel "The White Mask." This beautiful and intricately detailed print, published by Dickinson & Son in London in 1840, offers a glimpse into the opulent and intriguing world of British fashion during the time of William III and Queen Anne. The use of handcolouring adds depth and richness to the image, making it a true treasure for anyone interested in the history of fashion and the arts.
