La Circassienne,
EDITORS COMMENTS
a captivating image of a French woman in an elegant court costume from the late 18th century, is a stunning representation of the opulence and grandeur of the French monarchy during the reign of King Louis XVI. This handcoloured lithograph, part of the "Costumes Historiques de la France" series published by Le Bibliophile Jacob and Paul Lacroix in 1852, offers a glimpse into the fashionable attire of the French aristocracy during this period. The woman in the image is dressed in the traditional costume of a Circassienne, a term used to describe the fashion inspired by the women of the Circassian region in the western Caucasus. The costume consists of a long, flowing robe of richly coloured silk or velvet, adorned with intricate gold embroidery and elaborate fringes. The robe is worn over a corseted bodice, which accentuates the waist and creates an hourglass figure. The Circassienne's headdress is a striking feature of the costume, with a tall, conical hat covered in gold leaf and adorned with feathers and pearls. The woman in the image is depicted with an air of regality and confidence, her piercing gaze fixed on the viewer. She carries a fan in one hand, and her other hand rests on a cane, adding to her statuesque presence. The ornate court setting, with its gilded columns and intricate carvings, further emphasizes the grandeur and sophistication of the French court during this time. This image is a testament to the enduring allure of historical fashion, and serves as a reminder of the opulence and elegance of the French monarchy during the late 18th century. The intricate details of the costume, the rich colours, and the regal bearing of the woman in the image make it a truly captivating work of art. Whether appreciated for its historical significance or its aesthetic beauty, "La Circassienne" is a fascinating glimpse into the past, offering a window into the world of French court fashion during the reign of King Louis XVI.
