EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite artistry of lace weaving and embroidery in 17th and 18th century France. The image, taken in 1898 by an unknown creator, offers a glimpse into the opulence and grandeur of these historical periods. Figures 1 to 7 present various examples of this intricate craftmanship. Figure 1 displays a delicate lace piece in the style favored by Louis XIV, owned by C. Baur, a furniture manufacturer from Biberach, Germany. Figures 2 to 4 exhibit stunning embroidered silk garments worn during the reigns of Louis XIV, Louis XV, and Louis XVI respectively. The rich colors and ornate designs showcased in these textiles are truly awe-inspiring. From floral patterns to stylized motifs, each piece represents not only fashion but also religious symbolism prevalent at that time. Plate 85 from "The Historic Styles of Ornament" translated from German author H. Dolmetsch's work provides us with this invaluable visual documentation of French textile history. This lithograph captures every intricate detail through its chromolithographic technique. As we admire this print today, we can appreciate the skillful craftsmanship that went into creating these works of art centuries ago. It serves as a reminder of France's cultural heritage and its significant contribution to the world of fashion and design during the Baroque and Rococo eras.
