EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite handcolored illustration, titled "Woman from Bayonne" and dated back to the 16th century, showcases the elegant fashion of the era through the intricate details of this noblewoman's attire. The illustration, created by E. Lechevallier-Chevignard and lithographed by A. Didier, L. Flameng, and F. Laguillermie, is a stunning example of historical costumes from the 16th, 17th, and 18th centuries, as documented in Georges Duplessis's seminal work, "Costumes historiques des XVIe, XVIIe et XVIIIe siecles," published in Paris in 1867. The woman is depicted wearing a turban adorned with intricate gold and pearl embellishments, a scarf draped artfully around her neck, and a crimson-lined dress that accentuates her slender figure. The rich, vibrant colors and meticulous attention to detail bring the illustration to life, transporting us back in time to the opulent world of 16th-century France. The turban, a headpiece that originated in the Middle East and Central Asia, was a popular fashion accessory among European nobility during the Renaissance period. The scarf, or "foulard," was a versatile garment that could be worn in various ways, including as a head covering or a sash. The crimson-lined dress, with its voluminous skirt and fitted bodice, was a symbol of wealth and status. This illustration is not only a testament to the artistic skill of its creators but also a valuable historical record of the fashion trends and cultural influences of the time. It invites us to appreciate the beauty and elegance of the past and to marvel at the enduring allure of historical fashion.
