EDITORS COMMENTS
This handcoloured lithograph, titled "Coiffure à la Mauresque" or "Moorish Hairstyle," showcases a woman adorned in an elegant and exotic headpiece from the late 18th century. The woman's upcombed hairstyle is accentuated by ringlets cascading down her shoulders, while the Moorish bonnet is adorned with intricate floral patterns and pearls. The bonnet's design is reminiscent of the Moorish influence that permeated European fashion during the era of King Louis XVI. The image is a masterpiece from the collection "Stylish Hairstyles or Eccentric Finery," published by Octave Uzanne in Paris in 1895. The collection was created by the renowned French lithographer, de Laubadere, and was part of a larger trend in European society to explore and embrace diverse cultural influences in fashion. The woman's regal expression and the meticulous attention to detail in the lithograph highlight the allure and sophistication of the Moorish hairstyle during this time. The handcoloured technique adds an extra layer of depth and vibrancy to the image, making it a true work of art. The Moorish influence on European fashion during the late 18th century was a reflection of the broader cultural exchange that was taking place between Europe and the Middle East. This exchange led to the adoption of various elements of Moorish art, architecture, and design, which were incorporated into European fashion and decorative arts. This stunning lithograph is a testament to the enduring appeal of Moorish influences on European fashion and the role that fashion plays in reflecting and shaping cultural trends. It is a must-have for any collection of historical fashion or art, and a reminder of the rich cultural exchange that has shaped the world we live in today.
