EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning chromolithograph depicts the intricately designed bodice of Queen Marie Antoinette of France, as illustrated in the book "Fashions and Customs of Marie Antoinette and her Times" by Comte de Reiset, published in Paris in 1885. The image is based on the meticulous records kept by Madame Eloffe, the esteemed dressmaker and linen-merchant to the Queen and ladies of the court at Versailles during the 18th century. The bodice, a masterpiece of French craftsmanship, is adorned with an elaborate floral design, featuring roses, lilies, and other ornate motifs. The delicate fabric is layered with intricate lace and ribbon detailing, creating a sumptuous and elegant appearance. The bodice is also adorned with pearls and other precious stones, adding to its opulence and grandeur. Marie Antoinette, the last Queen of France before the French Revolution, was known for her extravagant fashion sense and love of luxury. Her court at Versailles was a center of opulence and decadence, and the fashions of the time reflected the wealth and power of the monarchy. The detailed records kept by Madame Eloffe provide a valuable insight into the world of 18th century French fashion and the intricacies of the royal court. This chromolithograph is a beautiful representation of the exquisite designs that were created for the Queen and her ladies, and serves as a reminder of the grandeur and elegance of the Ancien Régime.
