EDITORS COMMENTS
This handcoloured lithograph, titled "Fashions and Customs of Marie Antoinette and her Times," showcases an enchanting collection of hats and bonnets worn by women of the French aristocracy in 1787. The image, taken from the journal of Madame Eloffe, dressmaker and linen-merchant to the Queen and ladies of the court, offers a glimpse into the elegant and intricately designed headpieces that adorned the heads of the wealthy and fashionable women of the time. The striped satin capot hat, featured in the upper left corner, boasts a sophisticated and timeless design with its vertical stripes and elegant ribbons adorned with plumes. The bonnet à la captif, depicted in the center, is a stunning example of the nacarat satin material, which was highly sought after for its luxurious sheen. The bandeau bonnet in Italian gauze, located to the right of the captif bonnet, is a delicate and airy option, perfect for the warmer months. The largest hat in the image, the huge morning bonnet in Italian gauze, is a grand and impressive statement piece, complete with a violet ribbon that adds a pop of color to the otherwise neutral palette of the hats. This collection of hats and bonnets, as documented by Madame Eloffe in her journal, provides a fascinating insight into the opulent and intricate world of 18th-century French fashion at the court of Marie Antoinette in Versailles. The lithograph, produced by the Comte de Reiset in Paris in 1885, is a testament to the enduring allure of these elegant and timeless designs, which continue to inspire and captivate fashion enthusiasts to this day.
