EDITORS COMMENTS
This handcoloured lithograph, titled "Bonnet a la Laitiere" or "Milkmaid Bonnet," showcases a woman adorned in the fashionable hairstyle and headpiece of the era of King Louis XVI. The image, created by the skilled hand of de Laubadere for Octave Uzanne's publication "Stylish Hairstyles or Eccentric Finery" in 1895, offers a glimpse into the opulent and elaborate fashion trends of the late 18th century. The woman in the print wears a voluminous milkmaid bonnet, complete with frilly trim and a wide, flowing ribbon that cascades down her back. Her hair is styled in tight curls that are meticulously arranged beneath the bonnet, creating a striking contrast between the structured headpiece and the soft, natural curls. The intricate design of the bonnet and the woman's elegant posture convey a sense of refinement and sophistication, while the milkmaid motif adds a playful and whimsical touch. The use of handcolouring in the lithograph adds a richness and depth to the image, bringing the intricate details of the woman's attire and the textures of her hair to life. The overall effect is a stunning and captivating work of art that transports us back in time to the opulent and fashionable world of King Louis XVI's France. This image is a testament to the enduring allure of historical fashion and the artistry of the past. It invites us to appreciate the beauty and craftsmanship of a bygone era, and to marvel at the creativity and innovation of the fashion world's past masters.
