EDITORS COMMENTS
This handcoloured engraving, titled "Le Bon Genre" by Pierre de la Mesangere, depicts an intriguing moment of mutual fashion borrowing between French and English women in the early 19th century. The image, published in Paris in 1817, showcases two elegantly dressed ladies, one French and one English, who have come together to admire each other's attire. Both women are adorned in identical styles, wearing frilled dresses, bonnets with ribbons, shawls draped over their shoulders, and spencer jackets. They hold parasols in their hands, adding a touch of sophistication to their outfits. The satirical undertones of this print reflect the lively exchange of fashion trends between the two nations during the Napoleonic era. The Empire style, characterized by its high waistlines, full skirts, and elaborate headpieces, was popular in both France and England. This print highlights the shared appreciation for these fashionable trends, as well as the playful nature of cross-cultural influence. The intricate details of the ladies' outfits, from the delicate frills on their dresses to the intricate designs on their bonnets, are beautifully rendered in the handcoloured engraving technique. The overall effect is one of entertainment and lifestyle, showcasing the elegance and grace of women during this period. This print offers a glimpse into the rich history of fashion and the enduring bond between the French and English cultures.
