EDITORS COMMENTS
This handcoloured lithograph, titled "Chapeau au Bonheur du Siecle" or "Hat of the Happiness of the Century," showcases a woman adorned in extravagant finery from the era of King Louis XVI. The image, created by the skilled hand of de Laubadere for Octave Uzanne's publication "Stylish Hairstyles or Eccentric Finery," transports us back to an era of opulence and grandeur. The woman in the print wears a hat that is the epitome of exuberance and joy. The enormous hat is crowned with a frilled and floral garland, cascading pearls, and an array of blooms. The hat's tail trails behind her, adding to the grandeur of the ensemble. Her hairstyle is equally impressive, with intricate curls and an elaborate arrangement of flowers and pearls. The title "Happiness of the Century" suggests that this hat was not only a fashion statement but also a symbol of joy and celebration. The image captures the essence of the Rococo period, with its love of ornate decoration and playful, whimsical designs. The print, published in 1895 by Rouveyre in Paris, is a testament to the creativity and artistry of the time. The handcoloured lithograph technique adds depth and vibrancy to the image, making it a true work of art. This print is not only a beautiful addition to any collection of historical fashion or art, but also a reminder of the power of fashion to evoke joy and happiness.
