EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning chromolithograph, titled "Seasonal Fashions from the Early 18th Century: Fall and Winter," offers a captivating glimpse into the opulent world of fashion during the reign of Louis XV. The image, created by the renowned German curator, archaeologist, art historian, illustrator, and etcher, Dr. Jakob Heinrich von Hefner-Alteneck, and published by Heinrich Keller, showcases a woman elegantly dressed for the autumn and winter seasons. The woman's low-cut decollete dress, a popular fashion trend during this era, is adorned with intricate lace and embroidery, adding an air of sophistication and elegance. The rich, velvet fabric of the dress, with its deep, jewel-toned hues, reflects the warmth and abundance of the fall season. As the weather turns colder, she dons an elegant fur-lined mantle, draped artfully over her shoulders, providing both style and practicality. The chromolithograph, produced by the skilled hands of lithographer A. Volkert, is a beautiful example of the intricate detail and vibrant colors that characterized the art of the late 19th century. The image is taken from Hefner-Alteneck's comprehensive work, "Costumes, Artworks, and Appliances from the Middle Ages to the 18th Century," which remains a valuable resource for historians and fashion enthusiasts alike. This image offers a fascinating insight into the fashion trends and artistic styles of the early 18th century, providing a window into a bygone era of opulence and elegance.
