EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite copperplate etching by Auguste Etienne Guillaumot, titled 'Costumes et coiffures du XVIIIe siecle' or 'Costumes and hairstyles of the 18th century,' showcases a fashionable woman of the era, likely inspired by the iconic style of Marie Antoinette. The woman is depicted wearing a grand pouf hairstyle, adorned with ringlets cascading down her shoulders and a towering bonnet embellished with pearls. Her bodice, revealing a generous décolletage, is intricately detailed with lace and pearls, reflecting the opulence and elegance of the time. The original illustration for this print was created by the renowned French artist Claude Louis Desrais, as part of his series 'Gallerie des Modes et Costumes Francais' or 'Gallery of French Fashions and Costumes,' published between 1778 and 1787. Desrais was known for his meticulous attention to detail and his ability to capture the latest trends and fashions of the French court. This image is a testament to the extravagant and ornate fashion of the late 18th century, a time when the French monarchy was at the height of its power and influence. The woman's grand attire and elaborate hairstyle reflect the grandeur and luxury of the era, as well as the obsession with displaying wealth and status through clothing and accessories. The copperplate etching process, which involves creating an image on a copper plate that is then inked and pressed onto paper, was a popular method for producing high-quality prints during the 18th and 19th centuries. This technique allowed for intricate details and precise lines, making it ideal for capturing the intricacies of fashion illustrations like this one.
