EDITORS COMMENTS
This handcoloured copperplate engraving from 1798 showcases a woman dressed in the fashion of the time. Her elegant blue dress is complemented by a seethrough shawl, which adds an air of sophistication to her ensemble. The shawl is adorned with a red applique ribbon, adding a touch of color and intricacy to the overall look. One notable accessory she wears is a triple gold chain with flat links, cleverly used as a headband. This unique choice highlights her individuality and sense of style. The delicate linon fabric of the shawl creates an ethereal effect, allowing glimpses of what lies beneath while still maintaining an aura of mystery. The artist's attention to detail is evident in every aspect of this illustration. From the intricate patterns on the shawl to the precise rendering of each fold in her dress, it is clear that great care was taken in capturing both fashion and elegance. This print comes from Pierre de la Mesangeres Journal des Modes et Dames, published during the Directoire period amidst political turmoil in France. It serves as not only a representation of fashionable attire but also as a window into history during this transformative era. Overall, this enchanting image transports us back to 1798 and allows us to appreciate both the artistry involved in its creation and the timeless beauty embodied by women throughout history.
