1. Title: "A Vision of the Past: An English Woman in Fashion, October 1797" This evocative handcolored etching, created by the skilled artist Auguste Etienne Guillaumot Jr., transports us back in time to the fashionable world of an Englishwoman in October 1797. The woman, elegantly dressed, exudes an air of refinement and sophistication as she gazes demurely at the viewer. Her headdress, a striking feature of the period, is adorned with intricate cut-out sections, adding a playful touch to her otherwise formal attire. The grey gown she wears is tied under the bust with a ribbon, its edges delicately embellished with embroidery. The petticoats, hidden beneath, are pristine and white. The woman's hands are gloved, adding an extra layer of elegance to her appearance. In her right hand, she holds a fan, a fashionable accessory used to keep cool during the warmer months. This image is taken from the comprehensive collection "English Costumes during the Revolution and First Empire, 1795-1806," published by Levy in Paris in 1879. The collection, a testament to the meticulous detail and historical accuracy of Guillaumot's work, offers a fascinating glimpse into the fashion trends of the time. The etching, with its rich colors and intricate details, invites us to explore the world of 18th-century England, a time of change and transformation, both in fashion and in history. It serves as a reminder of the enduring allure of the past and the importance of preserving historical records for future generations.
