EDITORS COMMENTS
This handcoloured lithograph, titled "Woman in the Victory Bonnet Crowned with Leaves and Feathers" or "Bonnet a la Victoire," is an exquisite example of the elaborate and extravagant hairstyles popular during the era of King Louis XVI. Created by the skilled hand of French artist de Laubadere, this image is part of Octave Uzanne's collection "Stylish Hairstyles or Eccentric Finery." The woman in the print is depicted wearing a triumphant victory bonnet, adorned with lush greenery and vibrant feathers. The bonnet, a symbol of victory and triumph, is crowned with a wreath of laurel leaves, a traditional emblem of victory and glory. The feathers, likely from peacocks or other exotic birds, add a touch of opulence and elegance. The intricate hairstyle itself is a marvel, with cascading curls, braids, and ringlets that are meticulously arranged and secured in place with pins and combs. The woman's face is framed by the elaborate coiffure, her expression one of regal pride and confidence. This beautiful and intricately detailed print, published in Paris in 1895 by Rouveyre, offers a glimpse into the fashionable world of the late 18th century. It is a testament to the artistry and creativity of the time, and a reminder of the enduring allure of elegant and elaborate hairstyles.
