EDITORS COMMENTS
This handcoloured lithograph, taken from the esteemed journal of Madame Eloffe, dressmaker and linen-merchant to the Queen and ladies of the French court, showcases two exquisite bonnets inspired by the renowned actress Mlle. Louise Contat in the play "Les Amours de Bayard," performed in September 1787. The first bonnet, known as the Bonnet a la Randan, boasts a green taffeta band adorned with gold insignia and elegant white feathers. The second bonnet, the Bonnet a la Bayard, is a striking pouf a la chinoise, featuring voluminous gauze and ornate feathers. The aristocracy of the late 18th century was known for its extravagant fashion trends, and these bonnets epitomize the opulence and sophistication of the era. The Bonnet a la Randan's regal taffeta band and gold insignia reflect the grandeur of the French monarchy, while the delicate white feathers add a touch of elegance and refinement. The Bonnet a la Bayard's pouf design, reminiscent of the Chinese fashion trend, showcases the global influences that shaped the fashion scene during this period. This image, taken from the esteemed journal of Madame Eloffe, provides a glimpse into the world of Marie Antoinette and the French court, offering a fascinating insight into the fashion trends and cultural influences of the time. The meticulous handcolouring adds depth and vibrancy to the lithograph, making it a stunning addition to any collection of historical fashion or Marie Antoinette-inspired decor.
