EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite handcoloured lithograph captures the elegant and refined fashion sense of the French Directory period, as depicted in the illustration by Francois-Claudius Compte-Calix and brought to life by the skillful hand of E. Bracquet. The image features a woman dressed in a stunning white gown adorned with intricate velvet designs, adding a touch of luxury and sophistication to her attire. She pairs her dress with a red velvet hat, the rich hue of which beautifully complements the white fabric and velvet. Long straw-colour gloves complete her outfit, adding a practical yet stylish touch. The woman's apron, also made of white fabric, is delicately adorned with pansies, a popular motif during the Napoleonic era. Her bonnet, also in red velvet, is adorned with lace and a delicate bow, adding a feminine touch to the overall look. The intricate details of the lithograph, from the delicate folds of the woman's dress to the delicate patterns on her hat, showcase the meticulous craftsmanship of the time. This fashion plate, published in Les Modes Parisiennes sous le Directoire in 1871, offers a glimpse into the fashion trends of the period, which was marked by the transition from the Revolution to the Napoleonic era. The Directory period was known for its simple yet elegant fashion, with a focus on natural fabrics and muted colors. This image perfectly encapsulates the timeless beauty and elegance of this era, making it a must-have for any collection of historical fashion prints.
