EDITORS COMMENTS
This handcolored etching, titled "French Woman Wearing the Fashion of October 1791," showcases the elegant and intricate fashion of the French Revolution era. The image features a French woman dressed in the height of fashion from this period, adorned with an array of accessories that were popular during this time. The woman's outfit begins with a large, voluminous wig, which was a common feature of women's fashion during the late 18th century. Her hair is styled high on her head, with loose curls cascading down the sides. Atop her wig sits a charming bonnet, adorned with delicate flowers and ribbons, adding a touch of femininity to her ensemble. The woman's neck is covered with a fichu, a type of neckerchief that was worn in various ways during this period. Her chest is exposed, with the fichu draped around her neck and shoulders, securing the look with a bow at the front. Her dress is a stunning white number, adorned with red and blue polka dots, adding a playful and vibrant touch to the outfit. Beneath the dress, she wears a red petticoat, which adds depth and volume to her silhouette. The etching is a beautiful example of the intricate detail and craftsmanship of the time, created by the skilled hand of Auguste Etienne Guillaumot Jr. This image is taken from the collection "Costumes of the French Revolution, 1790-1793," published by Bouton in New York in 1889. The etching provides a fascinating glimpse into the fashion of this historic period, showcasing the elegance and charm of the French Revolution era.
