EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite handcoloured copperplate engraving, taken from the esteemed Album of Fashionable Hairstyles of 1783, showcases a woman adorned in the height of 18th century elegance. The woman's hairstyle, known as "coiffure à grosses boucles" or "coiffure with large curls," is a testament to the opulence and intricacy of the period's beauty trends. Her voluminous curls cascade down her back in a riot of luscious ringlets, each one carefully crafted and meticulously pinned in place. Atop her head sits a charming straw hat, its natural texture contrasting beautifully with the woman's polished coiffure. The hat, "chapeau," is further embellished with an array of delicate flowers, adding a touch of whimsy and femininity to the ensemble. This charming accessory not only shields the woman from the sun but also enhances the overall allure of her appearance. This image is a masterpiece from the esteemed French publishers Esnauts et Rapilly, based in Paris. The Album of Fashionable Hairstyles of 1783, a coveted collection of the latest coiffures, was a must-have for those seeking to keep abreast of the latest trends. The intricate details of this engraving, from the woman's elegant pose to the delicate flowers adorning her hat, are a testament to the skill and artistry of the unknown artist who brought this vision to life. The woman's regal bearing and the refined elegance of her hairstyle evoke the spirit of the era, transporting us back to a time of opulence, sophistication, and unparalleled beauty. This image is a true treasure for anyone with an appreciation for history, art, or the art of coiffure.
