EDITORS COMMENTS
This handcoloured copperplate engraving from 1797 showcases the fashionable women of the Directoire era in France. The image depicts a group of stylish ladies adorned in the latest trends of the time. Their attire includes a cap made of gathered gauze with delicate sprigs of foliage, adding an elegant touch to their ensemble. They don Spencer jackets over their dresses and drape themselves with long shawls, exuding sophistication and grace. The attention to detail is evident in every aspect of this print, from the intricate patterns on their clothing to the meticulous rendering of each woman's features. The artist has captured not only their physical appearance but also their sense of confidence and poise. This illustration was originally featured in Pierre de la Mesangeres Journal des Modes et Dames, a renowned fashion publication during that period. It highlights the work of talented artists such as Carle Vernet, Claude Louis Desrais, and Philibert Louis Debucourt. As we gaze upon this piece, we are transported back to a time when fashion played a significant role in society's expression and identity. It serves as a reminder that even centuries ago, women embraced style as a means of self-expression and empowerment. Through this exquisite print by Bridgeman Images, we can appreciate both the artistry involved in its creation and gain insight into the fashion trends that defined an era marked by political change –the French Revolution– where royalists clashed with republicans for power and influence.
