EDITORS COMMENTS
This handcolored lithograph, titled "Fashions and Customs of Marie Antoinette and her Times," showcases two elegant women of the French court in the 18th century. The image, published in Paris in 1885 by Comte de Reiset, offers a glimpse into the opulent world of Versailles through the eyes of Madame Eloffe, the dressmaker and linen-merchant to the Queen and ladies of the court. The woman on the left wears a yellow caraco, a fashionable garment of the time, which features a fitted bodice and a long, loose skirt. She accessorizes her outfit with a straw hat, adding a touch of casual elegance to her ensemble. The vibrant hue of her dress contrasts beautifully with the lush greenery in the background, evoking a sense of freshness and vitality. On the right, another woman is depicted wearing a violet-blue caraco and a yellow gauze hat. The rich color of her dress complements her fair complexion, while the delicate material of her hat adds a feminine touch to her appearance. The intricate details of their outfits, from the intricate patterns on their dresses to the elaborate ribbons adorning their hats, speak to the extravagance and sophistication of the French court during the reign of Marie Antoinette. The meticulously handcolored lithograph is a testament to the artistry and craftsmanship of the time, offering a fascinating window into the world of 18th-century French fashion and culture. This image is a must-have for anyone interested in the history of fashion, Marie Antoinette, or the opulent world of the French court.
