EDITORS COMMENTS
This handcolored etching, titled "French Woman Wearing the Fashion of June 1790," showcases the elegant attire of a French woman during the early years of the French Revolution. The image, created by the skilled artist Auguste Etienne Guillaumot Jr., offers a fascinating glimpse into the fashion trends of the time, as documented in the comprehensive work "Costumes of the French Revolution, 1790-1793." The French woman in the print exudes an air of refinement and opulence, with her regal top hat adorned with a vibrant cockade, a symbol of royalist loyalty. Her voluminous wig, styled in the latest fashion, cascades down her shoulders, framing her face and adding to her regal appearance. The large fichu, or neckerchief, draped around her neck, adds a touch of sophistication and completes her elegant ensemble. Her fitted dress, worn over a petticoat, features intricate embroidery, showcasing the attention to detail and craftsmanship of the era. The dress, with its high waistline and full skirt, accentuates her figure and highlights the feminine silhouette of the time. The petticoat, visible beneath the dress, adds an extra layer of volume and fullness to the outfit. This etching is a valuable historical document, offering insight into the fashion trends of the French Revolution and the societal norms of the time. It serves as a reminder of the rich history and cultural significance of this period in French history and the importance of preserving and documenting such details for future generations.
