EDITORS COMMENTS
This rear view image showcases an elegant woman from the era of King Louis XVI, adorned in a chignon plaited in three parts, accentuating her graceful neckline and the intricacy of her hairstyle. The woman's long curls cascade down her back, blending seamlessly into the meticulously crafted chignon. A fichu bonnet, a popular accessory during this period, completes the look, adding an air of sophistication and mystery. The exquisite detail of this handcoloured lithograph by de Laubadere, titled "Coiffures de Style, la Parure Excentrique," is a testament to the artistry and creativity of the time. The image is taken from Octave Uzanne's publication, "Stylish Hairstyles or Eccentric Finery," published in Paris in 1895. The hairstyle, with its intricate plaiting and elegant updo, is a reflection of the opulence and grandeur of the French monarchy during the late 18th century. The woman's chignon, a hairstyle that involved twisting the hair into a low bun at the nape of the neck, was a popular choice among the aristocracy during this time. The intricate plaiting and the use of a fichu bonnet, a type of headscarf, were common elements of the elaborate hairstyles worn during the reign of King Louis XVI. This image captures the essence of the fashionable and extravagant world of the French court during this period, making it a valuable addition to any collection of historical fashion or art.
