EDITORS COMMENTS
This handcoloured copperplate engraving from 1798 showcases a Parisian shop-girl in her casual morning gown. The image transports us back to the vibrant streets of Paris during the Directoire period, amidst the turmoil of the French Revolution. The young woman exudes an air of elegance and simplicity as she strolls through the Marche des quinze-vingts in the 12th arrondissement. Her attire is a delightful blend of fashion and practicality, with a turban adorning her head, a white chemise draping her shoulders, and a striped skirt that adds flair to her ensemble. In one hand, she carries a bouquet of flowers, perhaps purchased at this bustling market known for its fresh produce and fragrant blooms. In the other hand rests her shopping bag filled with provisions for the day. Known as a grisette en négligé du matin or simply "shop-girl" she represents not only the working class but also embodies resilience and independence during this transformative era in French history. This exquisite illustration was part of Pierre de la Mesangere's Journal des Modes et Dames, featuring contributions by renowned artists Carle Vernet, Claude Louis Desrais, and Philibert Louis Debucourt. Its intricate details bring to life an ordinary moment in time while capturing both the spirit of revolutionary France and timeless beauty.
