EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: "The Enigma of Cagliostro's Hat: A Symbol of Scandal in the Court of Marie Antoinette" This hand-colored lithograph, taken from "Fashions and Customs of Marie Antoinette and her Times" by Comte de Reiset, offers a glimpse into the opulent world of the French court during the 18th century. The image showcases an intriguing accessory that would soon become synonymous with scandal - the Cagliostro hat, or the Queen's necklace hat, with its striking colors of red and yellow. The background of this intriguing scene is set against the backdrop of the Affair of the Queens Necklace. The Cardinal de Rohan, a prominent figure in the French court, was falsely implicated in the theft of the priceless diamond necklace, which was later discovered to have been orchestrated by a group of swindlers. The cardinal, dressed elegantly in a straw hat, is depicted here with a somber expression, perhaps reflecting the gravity of his situation. The Cagliostro hat, named after the famous Italian magician and alchemist, Giuseppe Balsamo, or Cagliostro, was a popular fashion accessory during this period. Its vibrant red and yellow colors, as seen in the lithograph, added a touch of exoticism and allure to the wearer's ensemble. However, its association with Cagliostro, who was believed to have used it as part of his magical performances, lent an air of mystery and intrigue to the hat. Madame Eloffe, the dressmaker and linen-merchant to the Queen and ladies of the court, documented these fashion trends in her journal, providing valuable insights into the sartorial choices of the French nobility during this tumultuous time in history. This lithograph serves as a testament to the enduring fascination with the Cagliostro hat and the Affair of the Queens Necklace, which continues to captivate historians and fashion enthusiasts alike.
