EDITORS COMMENTS
This hand-colored lithograph showcases a woman adorned in the fashionable yet eccentric Pulcinella bonnet with a veil tied at the throat. The image, titled "Coiffure de Polichinelle" or "Pulcinella Hairstyle," is an exquisite creation from the fashion plate series "Stylish Hairstyles or Eccentric Finery from the Era of King Louis XVI" by Octave Uzanne, published in Paris in 1895 by Rouveyre. The woman in the print wears a Pulcinella bonnet, a whimsical and elaborate headpiece inspired by the Italian commedia dell'arte character, Pulcinella. The bonnet is adorned with a vibrant, multicolored design, featuring intricate patterns and floral motifs. The veil, tied at the throat, adds an air of mystery and allure to the ensemble. The Pulcinella bonnet was a popular fashion trend during the late 19th century, and its inclusion in Uzanne's series highlights its significance in the fashion world of the time. The image is a testament to the extravagant and eclectic tastes of the era, reflecting the opulence and sophistication of the French court during the reign of King Louis XVI. The lithograph is a stunning work of art in its own right, with intricate details and vibrant colors that bring the image to life. The hand-coloring technique adds depth and texture to the print, making it a true masterpiece of the fashion plate genre. Overall, this image is a fascinating glimpse into the fashion trends and cultural influences of the late 19th century, and a beautiful example of the artistry and craftsmanship of the time.
