EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite copperplate etching by Auguste Etienne Guillaumot, titled 'Robes vraiment à l'Anglaise' (Real English-style dresses), depicts a fashionable woman of the late 18th century, an era known for its opulence and elegance, particularly associated with the famous Queen Marie Antoinette of France. The woman is shown gracefully sipping coffee from a delicate porcelain cup, her English-style dress cascading around her in soft folds. The dress, a testament to the Anglo-French fashion craze of the time, features a high waistline, a voluminous petticoat, and a fitted bodice adorned with intricate floral patterns. Her hairstyle, a grand pouf topped with a cascade of feathers, is a quintessential symbol of the extravagance and sophistication of the era. This beautiful image is an original illustration from Pierre Thomas Le Clerc's 'Gallerie des Modes et Costumes Francais' (Gallery of French Fashion and Costume), published in Paris in 1875. The meticulous detail and fine craftsmanship of the etching transport us back in time, allowing us to appreciate the beauty and elegance of fashion during the age of Marie Antoinette.
