EDITORS COMMENTS
This image is a copperplate etching by Auguste Etienne Guillaumot, taken from the comprehensive publication "Costumes et coiffures du XVIIIe siecle" or "Costumes and hairstyles of the 18th century," published in Paris in 1875. The original illustration was created by the renowned artist Claude Louis Desrais for the "Gallerie des Modes et Costumes Francais," or "Gallery of French Fashion," between 1778 and 1787. The elegant woman depicted in the print is dressed in the height of 18th-century fashion, with an extravagant tall pouf hairstyle crowned by an ornate rosette and adorned with a voluminous polonaise dress made of satin taffeta. The dress features a long train, which is carried by a black page, adding an air of grandeur and opulence to the scene. The woman's attire is completed with a pipe-shaped bonnet, or "bonnet-lampe," and a "la de leger" bonnet, both popular headpieces of the time. The black page, dressed in a simple livery, adds a striking contrast to the woman's resplendent outfit. The intricacy of the etching technique is evident in the detailed rendering of the woman's dress, the delicate folds of her pouf, and the textured fabric of the page's uniform. This print offers a glimpse into the opulent world of Marie Antoinette's France, where grandeur, luxury, and extravagance were the order of the day. The image serves as a testament to the enduring allure of 18th-century fashion and the artistry of the illustrators and etchers of the time.
