EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "WOMENs FASHION, 1807" transports us back to the early 19th century in France. The image showcases a group of Grisettes, young working-class women, preparing for bed. Created using the aquatint technique and originating from the series Le Bon Genre, this piece offers a glimpse into the intimate moments of everyday life during that era. The scene unfolds within a cozy bedroom adorned with period-specific elements such as a bandana, bonnet, candlestick, dressing table, and mirror. Each detail contributes to capturing the essence of fashion and lifestyle prevalent during the First French Empire. Seated around their dressing tables in nightgowns and sleeping caps, these Grisettes exude an air of tranquility as they engage in their nightly routines. Their expressions suggest both weariness from a long day's work and contentment found within their camaraderie. This artwork not only serves as an aesthetic delight but also provides valuable insights into social history by shedding light on the lives of ordinary women during this time period. It reminds us that even amidst societal constraints imposed upon them due to their working-class status; these women found solace in each other's company while embracing personal care rituals before retiring for the night. The Granger Collection has beautifully preserved this historical gem through its Carousel Collection. This print is sure to captivate anyone interested in exploring fashion trends or gaining deeper understanding about daily existence for women belonging to different strata of society two
