EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning handcoloured lithograph, titled "Costumes Historiques de la France" or "Historical Costumes of France," depicts a summer dress worn by French women during the Napoleonic era in 1810. The image, published by Le Bibliophile Jacob, also known as Paul Lacroix, showcases the elegance and sophistication of French fashion during this period. The dress, made of light fabric, is adorned with intricate floral patterns and delicate lace detailing. The high waistline, a defining feature of the time, accentuates the narrow silhouette popularized by the fashionable elite. A matching bonnet, made of straw, sits atop the woman's head, completing the summertime ensemble. The lithograph, produced in Paris in 1852, offers a glimpse into the past, providing valuable insights into the fashion trends and styles of the Napoleonic era. The intricate detail and vibrant colors captured in the print make it a beautiful addition to any collection of historical fashion or art. The image is a testament to the enduring influence of French fashion and the importance of preserving historical records of fashion trends and styles. The meticulous attention to detail and the use of handcoloring techniques add to the print's aesthetic appeal, making it a must-have for anyone interested in fashion history or the art of the 19th century.
