EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite copperplate etching by Auguste Etienne Guillaumot, titled "Costumes et coiffures du XVIIIe siecle," or "Costumes and hairstyles of the 18th century," captures the essence of fashion during the era of Marie Antoinette. The central figure in the illustration is a fashionable woman adorned in the latest styles of the time. Her pouf hairstyle, a popular trend among the French aristocracy, is a grand spectacle of volume and elegance. The towering hairstyle is accentuated with a delicate cap, adorned with intricate feathers and ribbons, adding an air of refinement and sophistication. The woman's attire consists of a drape skirt, which gracefully falls over a petticoat, revealing the petticoat's layers of ruffles and folds. The skirt's rich fabric, likely silk or velvet, is draped artfully to accentuate the woman's figure. The outfit is further accessorized with a shawl, adding a touch of warmth and texture to the ensemble. The illustration is a reproduction of an original work by Pierre Thomas Le Clerc from the "Gallerie des Modes et Costumes Francais," published between 1778 and 1787. The meticulous attention to detail in the etching showcases the intricacies of the fashionable attire and hairstyles of the time, providing a glimpse into the opulence and grandeur of the French court during the late 18th century.
