EDITORS COMMENTS
This handcolored etching, titled "French Woman Wearing the Fashion of April 1793," showcases the elegant and intricately detailed attire of a French woman during the French Revolution. The image, created by Auguste Etienne Guillaumot Jr. in 1889, is a stunning representation of the fashion trends that emerged during this period of French history. The French woman in the print wears a high-waisted, full skirt embroidered with delicate flowers, creating a voluminous silhouette. She pairs her skirt with a fitted, striped jacket, the tight bodice of which accentuates her figure. The jacket is adorned with intricate buttons and a decorative collar, adding an air of sophistication to her ensemble. Atop her head, she dons a bonnet adorned with feathers and bows, a popular accessory during this time. Her hair is styled in an elaborate wig, which is held in place by a fichu, or neckerchief, that is draped around her shoulders. The fichu adds a touch of modesty and completes the look. The etching, taken from the publication "Costumes of the French Revolution, 1790-1793," provides a glimpse into the fashionable world of the French Revolution, a time of great social and political upheaval. The intricate details and vibrant colors of the print transport us back to this fascinating era, allowing us to appreciate the beauty and elegance of the clothing that defined it.
