60, 000 trousseau for Princess Marie Bonaparte
A page from the Illustrated London News with photographs of the huge number of exquisite gowns on display at the gallery of Monsieur Drecolle, all forming part of a 60, 000 trousseau for Princess Marie Bonaparte on her marriage to Prince George of Greece in 1907. Prince Marie Bonaparte was an author, psychoanalyst and disciple of Sigmund Freud. Obsessed with her inability to find sexual fulfillment, her wealth did much to popularise the field of psycho analysis. Obviously, clothes were no substitute for a fulfilling sex life though! Date: 1907

EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph from the Illustrated London News, we are transported back to 1907 and the grand display of Princess Marie Bonaparte's trousseau at the gallery of Monsieur Drecolle in Paris. The trousseau, comprising an astonishing 60,000 gowns, was meticulously arranged for the upcoming marriage of the Princess to Prince George of Greece. Marie Bonaparte, a French princess and an accomplished author and psychoanalyst, was a disciple of Sigmund Freud. Her obsession with her inability to find sexual fulfillment drove her to seek the help of the renowned psychoanalyst, leading her to become a prominent figure in popularizing the field. However, it is clear from this image that her wealth was not solely devoted to her psychological pursuits. The exquisite gowns on display in the gallery showcase the opulence and elegance of the Edwardian era. The intricate designs, luxurious fabrics, and intricate detailing are a testament to the craftsmanship of the time. The Princess's trousseau was a symbol of her status and wealth, and the grand display was a spectacle that drew attention from the fashionable world. The image captures the grandeur of the occasion, with the ornate gold frames and the vast expanse of gowns filling the gallery. The Princess's future husband, Prince George of Greece, stands in the background, surveying the display with a sense of pride and anticipation. The photograph is a fascinating glimpse into the world of royalty and the extravagance of the past. Despite the vast collection of gowns, it is a reminder that true fulfillment cannot be bought or acquired through material possessions alone.
