EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite copperplate etching by Auguste Etienne Guillaumot, titled 'Woman in Giant Bonnet with Feathers, Era of Marie Antoinette,' transports us back to the opulent and fashionable world of the 18th century. The image is derived from an original illustration by Francois Louis Joseph Watteau from the 'Gallerie des Modes et Costumes Francais.' The woman in the print wears a grandiose bonnet, a symbol of the lavish and extravagant fashion trends during the reign of Marie Antoinette. The bonnet, adorned with an impressive array of feathers, towers high above her head, drawing attention to her regal presence. The bonnet's base is made of a large straw hat, delicately trimmed with a wide ribbon that cascades down the back, securing the elaborate headpiece in place. The intricate detailing of the etching captures the intricacy and artistry of the millinery craft during this era. The woman's elegant attire, with its flowing gown and delicate accessories, further emphasizes the opulence and refinement of the time. The print, produced by Auguste Etienne Guillaumot in 1875, serves as a testament to the enduring allure of the fashionable trends of the 18th century, particularly those associated with the iconic figure of Marie Antoinette. This beautiful etching offers a glimpse into the past, allowing us to appreciate the beauty and elegance of a bygone era.
