EDITORS COMMENTS
This handcoloured lithograph, titled "Fashions and Customs of Marie Antoinette and her Times," depicts two elegant women of the French aristocracy from the year 1787. The woman on the left wears a redingote, a fashionable long coat with a fitted bodice and a voluminous skirt, made of black wool. She accessorizes her outfit with two collars, one at the neckline and another at the cuffs of her sleeves. Her bonnet, known as a "bonnet à la grande prétresse," is adorned with artificial roses and ribbons, adding a touch of femininity to her ensemble. The woman on the right is dressed in a striped taffeta robe, a popular fabric for summer clothing during the late 18th century. She wears a fichu, a neck scarf, and a large yellow gauze chapeau tied with a violet ribbon. Her chapeau, a common headpiece for the aristocracy during this period, is a grand statement piece, featuring a wide brim and a tall crown. This image is taken from the "Journal of Madame Eloffe," a dressmaker and linen-merchant to the Queen and ladies of the court, as documented in the book "Fashions and Customs of Marie Antoinette and her Times," published in Paris in 1885 by Comte de Reiset. The journal provides a fascinating glimpse into the opulent world of the French aristocracy during the late 18th century, showcasing the intricate details and extravagant styles that defined this era. The handcoloured lithograph adds an additional layer of beauty and authenticity to this historical record, making it a valuable resource for fashion historians and enthusiasts alike.
