EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Plates 13-16 from an almanac of contemporary French fashion, dating back to 1778. The hand-colored engraving, created by the French School in the 18th century, offers a glimpse into the high society of that era. In this image, we see a small group of people adorned in fashionable attire and accessories. The women are elegantly dressed, wearing exquisite gowns and carrying sunshades or parasols to shield themselves from the sun's rays. Their elaborate hairstyles and delicate posture exude grace and gentility. The men also display their impeccable sense of style with tri-cornered hats adding a touch of sophistication to their appearance. They stand confidently beside the women, emphasizing their social class and refined taste. This late 18th-century painting captures a moment during daytime when these upper-class individuals would gather outdoors for leisurely activities or social gatherings. The hand coloring adds vibrancy to each detail, making every element come alive. Plates like these were highly sought after during that time period as they provided inspiration for fashion trends among the elite circles in Paris and beyond. This particular almanac was published by Chez Desnos in Paris, further enhancing its historical significance. As we admire this remarkable piece from Bridgeman Images' private collection, it serves as a reminder of how fashion has evolved over centuries while still retaining its ability to captivate our imagination today.
