EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving titled "Feather Dusters in Fashion" takes us back to the 18th century, offering a satirical glimpse into the world of French women's hairstyles during that era. The image, part of a private collection, showcases the excessive and absurd nature of these elaborate coiffures. The cartoon-like depiction features women adorned with towering hairdos embellished with an array of feathers. It is a scathing satire on the fashion trends prevalent at the time, highlighting how style often trumped practicality and reason. Created by an anonymous French School artist from the 19th century, this satirical drawing was originally published as an illustration for Charles D Hericault's book "La Revolution 1789-1882". It offers a humorous commentary on not only fashion but also politics and society during this transformative period in France's history. Through its exaggerated portrayal of these outlandish hairstyles, this engraving serves as both entertainment and social critique. It reminds us that even in times of political upheaval like the French Revolution, fashion remained an important aspect of daily life for many individuals. With its rich historical context and clever caricatured style, "Feather Dusters in Fashion" provides viewers with a fascinating window into French culture and European society during this tumultuous period.
