EDITORS COMMENTS
This handcoloured lithograph, titled "Bonnet au Mystère ou Chien Couchant" (Mystery Bonnet or Sleeping Dog), is an exquisite example of the elaborate and enchanting hairstyles and fashion accessories of the late 18th century during the reign of King Louis XVI. The image, created by the skilled hand of French artist de Laubadere, features a woman in a mesmerizing mystery bonnet adorned with an array of vibrant flowers and playful feathers. The bonnet's intricate design is further enhanced by the presence of a gracefully sleeping dog at the wearer's feet, adding an element of whimsy and mystery to the scene. The woman's hairstyle, a testament to the opulence and extravagance of the era, is a stunning display of intricate braids, curls, and ornate embellishments. Her elegant attire, complete with a voluminous skirt and delicate lace, complements the grandeur of her headpiece. The overall effect is one of enchantment and allure, transporting us back in time to an age of refinement and elegance. This work of art is taken from Octave Uzanne's "Stylish Hairstyles or Eccentric Finery" (Coiffures de Style, la Parure Excentrique), published in Paris in 1895 by Rouveyre. The lithograph, with its rich colors and intricate details, offers a glimpse into the fashionable world of the past and serves as a reminder of the enduring beauty and allure of historical fashion.
