EDITORS COMMENTS
This handcoloured copperplate engraving from 1798 showcases a woman adorned in the fashionable attire of the time. The focal point of her ensemble is undoubtedly the Primerose-style hat, intricately tied with a checkered fichu. Her dress features delicate lace sleeves, exuding elegance and sophistication. A pocket-less apron made of check taffeta adds a touch of practicality to her outfit. The inspiration behind this unique hat may have come from Madame St. Aubin's portrayal of a Provencale peasant in Nicolas Dalayrac's opera "Primerose" which premiered that same year. The woman holds both a fan and kerchief, further emphasizing her refined taste and attention to detail. This print is part of Pierre de la Mesangeres' Journal des Modes et Dames, an esteemed publication documenting fashion during this period. Volume 1 featured illustrations by renowned artists Carle Vernet, Claude Louis Desrais, and Philibert Louis Debucourt. Transporting us back to the era of French Revolution and Directoire style, this image captures the essence of both royalist opulence and republican simplicity. It serves as a testament to the ever-changing world of fashion and its ability to reflect societal shifts. Brought to life by Bridgeman Images' exceptional reproduction quality, this print allows us to appreciate not only the artistry but also the historical significance encapsulated within this stunning depiction.
