EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite handcolored etching by Auguste Etienne Guillaumot Jr., titled "English Woman in the Fashion of April 1797," offers a captivating glimpse into the fashionable attire of Englishwomen during the late 18th century. The elegant subject dons a fashionable peaked hat, adorned with luxurious fur trim, which adds a touch of sophistication and warmth to her outfit. The hat's distinctive shape and the use of fur were popular trends among the fashionable elite of the time. The woman's long, flowing grey dress, with its high waistline and voluminous skirt, is a testament to the opulence and grandeur of the Regency era. The dress is accessorized with a stylish blue stole, which adds a pop of color to the monochromatic ensemble. The blue gloves, which match the stole, are a necessary addition to protect the hands from the cold and complete the refined look. The woman's fur muff, which is held in her left hand, is a luxurious and practical accessory. The muff, which is trimmed with the same fur as the hat, would have provided warmth and protection from the elements. The intricate details of the etching, from the delicate folds of the fabric to the intricate patterns on the hat and muff, showcase the exceptional craftsmanship of the time. This etching is part of the "English Costumes during the Revolution and First Empire, 1795-1806" series by Auguste Etienne Guillaumot Jr., published in Paris by Levy in 1879. The series offers a valuable record of the fashion trends of the time and provides a fascinating insight into the lives of the fashionable elite during the late 18th and early 19th centuries.
