EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph, titled "Costume of a fashionable woman or Merveilleuse, Directoire era, 1825" transports us back to the elegant and revolutionary days of 18th-century France. The image showcases the attire of a stylish French woman during the Directoire era in 1798. The fashion depicted here is both daring and refined. The woman's short haircut, known as "a la Titus" or "a la victime" was popularized during this time period. Her low-cut dress exudes confidence and allure, while her straw bonnet adds a touch of whimsy to her ensemble. Completing her look is an intricately embroidered shawl draped gracefully over her shoulders. Handcolored by Lorenzo Bianchi and Domenico Cuciniello after Hippolyte Lecomte's original artwork, this lithograph captures every intricate detail with finesse. It was published in Naples in 1825 as part of an Italian edition showcasing civilian and military costumes from the French monarchy between 1200 and 1820. As we gaze upon this print, we are reminded not only of the elegance that defined French fashion but also its connection to historical events such as the French Revolution which began in 1789. This piece serves as a testament to how clothing can reflect societal changes and cultural shifts throughout history. With its vibrant colors and meticulous attention to detail, this lithograph offers us a glimpse into the past while celebrating the enduring beauty of fashion through centuries gone by.
