EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite copperplate etching by Auguste Etienne Guillaumot, titled 'Grande Coiffure et Ajustement a la Caravanne,' showcases a woman's grand hairstyle and dress inspired by the opera "La Caravane du Caire," which was popular during the era of Marie Antoinette. The elaborate hairstyle, reminiscent of a pouf or a tall, conical shape, is adorned with an intricately designed bonnet or hat, resembling a millinery masterpiece of the 18th century. The woman's dress, also in keeping with the fashionable trends of the time, features a voluminous silhouette, with a fitted bodice and a full, flowing skirt. This stunning illustration is taken from the book "Costumes et coiffures du XVIIIe siecle," published in Paris in 1875 by Cagnon. The original design was created by Francois Louis Joseph Watteau and first appeared in the "Gallerie des Modes et Costumes Francais" between 1778 and 1787. The intricate details of the woman's hairstyle and dress are captured beautifully in this etching, providing a glimpse into the opulent and fashionable world of Marie Antoinette's France.
