EDITORS COMMENTS
Empress Josephine, the beloved wife of Napoleon Bonaparte, is depicted in this stunning handcoloured lithograph from the renowned French publication, "Costumes Historiques de la France" by Paul Lacroix. The image captures Josephine in the grandeur of her imperial role, adorned in a magnificent purple velvet manteau and dress, embroidered in intricate silver threads. The manteau, a long, sleeveless garment, is draped over Josephine's shoulders, revealing the elegant cut and fit of her dress beneath. The dress, also in rich purple velvet, features a high waistline, a fitted bodice, and a full, voluminous skirt. The silver embroidery adds a regal touch to the ensemble, reflecting the opulence and grandeur of the Napoleonic Court. Josephine, born Marie Josèphe Rose Tascher de La Pagerie, was the first Empress of the French, ruling alongside her husband Napoleon from 1804 until their divorce in 1810. This image, created in 1852 by Le Bibliophile Jacob, offers a glimpse into the fashion and style of the Napoleonic era, and the powerful influence of Empress Josephine on French culture.
