La Crinolonomanie
EDITORS COMMENTS
by Charles Vernier: A Humorous Take on Fashion and Repairs in 19th Century France In this charming and satirical print by Charles Vernier, titled "La Crinolonomanie," we witness a fashionable young woman of the 1850s engaging in an unexpected visit to a blacksmith's forge. The woman, adorned in the large, wide, and frilly crinoline skirt that was all the rage during this era, has come seeking repairs to the iron ring of her crinoline frame. The scene is filled with a sense of amusement and irony as the woman, with a determined expression on her face, bends over the anvil, while the blacksmith, a burly man with a hammer in hand, looks on with a mix of surprise and curiosity. The title "La Crinolonomanie," a playful nod to the French word "crinolonomane," which translates to crinoline mania or crinoline fad, adds to the satirical tone of the print. The crinoline, an elaborate hoop skirt made of metal or whalebone, was a symbol of feminine elegance and extravagance during the mid-19th century. However, its large size and delicate structure made it prone to damage and required frequent repairs. The image of a woman visiting a blacksmith for such repairs would have been a humorous and unexpected twist for viewers of the time. This print, with its intriguing blend of fashion, trade, and satire, offers a unique glimpse into the daily life and cultural norms of 19th century France. The large, detailed illustration, with its rich colors and intricate details, invites us to explore the world of the past and appreciate the humor and irony that often lies beneath the surface.
