EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite handcolored engraving, titled "Costume de l'Époque de Louis XVI," transports us back to the opulent and elegant world of 18th century France during the reign of Marie Antoinette. The image captures a woman of refined taste and affluence, dressed in the height of fashionable attire. She dons a large, sumptuous fur muff, its luxurious pelts providing a striking contrast against her crisp white petticoats and long crimson coat. The woman's attire is accessorized with a bonnet adorned with delicate ribbons and feathers, adding an air of sophistication to her ensemble. Her hands are nestled deep within the warm embrace of the fur muff, suggesting a sense of comfort and leisure. The man accompanying the woman is equally fashionable, dressed in a striped coat, waistcoat, and breeches, complete with an ornate waistcoat studded with intricate designs. He wears a top hat and carries a cane, embodying the dandyish and fopish style popular during the era. This engraving, created by Ap. Carrache after an illustration by Francois-Claudius Compte-Calix, is a testament to the extravagant and elegant fashion of the time. The intricate details and vibrant colors bring the image to life, allowing us to step into the opulent world of Marie Antoinette and her court. The plate, published in Paris in 1869 by Lacourriere, showcases the grandeur and elegance of the era, as well as the importance of fashion as a symbol of wealth and status. This image is a must-have for any collection focused on the history of fashion, Marie Antoinette, or 18th century France.
