EDITORS COMMENTS
This handcoloured lithograph, titled "Coiffure de nuit, a la Voluptueuse" by de Laubadere, showcases an elegant woman adorned in a night cape and a voluptuous bonnet from the era of King Louis XVI. The image is taken from Octave Uzanne's Stylish Hairstyles or Eccentric Finery, published in Paris in 1895 by Rouveyre. The woman's night attire is adorned with intricate patterns and rich fabrics, suggesting an air of opulence and luxury. Her voluminous night cape, draped over her shoulders, cascades down to the floor, adding to her regal presence. But the true focus of the image is her extravagant bonnet, known as "a la Voluptueuse." The bonnet is a marvel of 18th-century fashion, featuring a large, rounded shape, adorned with an abundance of curls and waves, which flow gracefully down the sides. The bonnet's grandeur is further accentuated by the addition of feathers and ribbons, adding an element of playfulness and whimsy to the overall look. The intricate detailing and vibrant colors of this lithograph make it a stunning representation of the fashion trends of the time. The woman's coiffure, with its voluptuous curves and luxurious curls, was a symbol of femininity and allure during the reign of King Louis XVI. This image offers a glimpse into the opulent and eccentric world of 18th-century fashion, and serves as a reminder of the enduring influence of historical styles on modern fashion trends.
