EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant print, titled "English costumes" is a delightful illustration from Le Bon Genre, dating back to the early 19th century. The artwork captures the essence of English fashion during this period with its intricate details and exquisite colors. In the foreground, we see a female figure dressed in an empire-style dress adorned with lace and ribbons. Her stylish hat is elegantly decorated with feathers, adding a touch of sophistication to her ensemble. She holds an umbrella, which not only serves as protection from the elements but also adds to her fashionable appearance. Beside her stands a male figure wearing a military uniform complete with a plumed helmet and sabre. This satirical portrayal pokes fun at the bourgeoisie society by exaggerating their elegant attire and exaggerated accessories. The artist's keen eye for social observation is evident in every aspect of this engraving. From the frogged detailing on both costumes to the carefully drawn ruffs around their necks, each element contributes to capturing the essence of English fashion during that era. This print offers us a glimpse into history while showcasing the artistic talent of French School artists from centuries ago. It serves as a reminder that fashion has always played an essential role in society, reflecting our values and aspirations throughout time.
