EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this stunning handcoloured lithograph from 1885, showcasing two women dressed in the height of fashion during the era of Marie Antoinette. The woman in the sky-blue caraco exudes elegance, wearing a huge straw hat lined with pink satin and adorned with ribbons. Her outfit is a perfect blend of sophistication and whimsy, capturing the essence of aristocratic style.
Beside her stands another woman in a pink caraco, sporting a large hat made of taffeta and gauze, embellished with delicate artificial flowers. Her ensemble is equally striking, embodying the opulence and extravagance associated with the French court at that time.
The intricate details captured in this print transport us to a bygone era where fashion was not just clothing but an art form. The craftsmanship involved in creating these elaborate outfits is truly remarkable, showcasing the skill and creativity of designers like Madame Eloffe who catered to royalty and high society.
As we admire these two women posing gracefully for their portrait, we are reminded of the timeless allure of historical fashion and how it continues to inspire contemporary trends today. This print serves as a window into a world where beauty knew no bounds and style reigned supreme.
