EDITORS COMMENTS
This image is a copperplate etching of a woman elegantly dressed in the style of Marie Antoinette's era, created by Auguste Etienne Guillaumot in 1875. The illustration is based on an original work by Francois Louis Joseph Watteau from the "Gallerie des Modes et Costumes Francais," published between 1778 and 1787. The woman in the print wears an extravagant large hat adorned with delicate ribbons, feathers, and a bow, which was a popular fashion accessory during the late 18th century. Her dress is made of rich fabric, with a fitted bodice and a full, voluminous skirt that is gathered and draped to accentuate her figure. She also wears a petticoat and an apron, which were essential components of women's attire during this period. The woman holds a muff in her left hand, which was used to keep her hands warm and covered in public. Her hairstyle, with its intricate curls and elaborate coiffure, is a testament to the time and effort women devoted to their appearance. The overall effect is one of opulence and refinement, reflecting the grandeur and elegance of the French court during the reign of Marie Antoinette. This print is a beautiful example of the intricate detail and craftsmanship that characterized the etchings of the 18th century, and it offers a glimpse into the fashion and style of a bygone era. The image has been preserved and digitized by Mary Evans Picture Library, allowing us to appreciate its beauty and historical significance today.
