EDITORS COMMENTS
This print depicts a fashionable woman of the Merveilleuse society in France during the 18th century. The Merveilleuse, or "Wonderful Women," were a group of influential and stylish women who set trends and defined elegance in the late 1700s. In this illustration, the woman is dressed in the height of fashion for the time, with a voluminous gown adorned with intricate floral patterns and a matching shawl draped over her shoulders. Her hairstyle, featuring curled locks piled high on her head and adorned with delicate flowers, is a testament to the meticulous attention to detail given to personal appearance during this era. The print, created by Carle Vernet and handcolored by E. Lechevallier-Chevignard, was lithographed by A. Didier, L. Flameng, and F. Laguillermie for the publication "Costumes historiques des XVIe, XVIIe et XVIIIe siecles" (Historical costumes of the 16th, 17th and 18th centuries) by Georges Duplessis in Paris in 1867. The print offers a glimpse into the opulence and sophistication of the Merveilleuse society, providing a valuable record of fashion history from this intriguing period in French history.
