EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite handcoloured lithograph captures the essence of French women's fashion during the Directory era, specifically in the year 1795. The elegant woman depicted in the image is shown with her pet dog and a walking stick, adding a touch of sophistication and leisure to the scene. Her outfit consists of a striped petticoat dress, which was a popular trend during this time, paired with a black mantelet, a long, loose-fitting overgarment. The mantelet adds an air of sophistication and modesty to the outfit, while the stripes on the petticoat add a playful and contemporary touch. The woman's hat is adorned with ribbons in the colors white, pink, and green, which adds a feminine and delicate touch to the outfit. The hat is also adorned with a bow, which is a common feature in women's hats during this period. The woman's hairstyle is simple yet elegant, with her hair pulled back into a low bun, which was a popular hairstyle during the Directory era. This beautiful image is from the collection "Costumes Historiques de la France" by Le Bibliophile Jacob, also known as Paul Lacroix. The collection was published by the Administration de Librairie in Paris in 1852 and is a valuable resource for those interested in the history of French fashion. The intricate details of the woman's outfit and the use of vibrant colors in the handcoloured lithograph make this a stunning representation of French women's fashion during the Directory era.
