EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a woman proudly donning the "Chapeau a la Grenade," also known as the "Victory of Destaing," a grenadiers bicorn hat. The intricately designed hat, adorned with the symbol of the pomegranate, pays homage to the French naval hero, Charles Hector, Comte d'Estaing. D'Estaing, a renowned naval commander, played a significant role in the late 18th century, particularly during the American Revolution. His military successes, including the Battle of Chesapeake in 1781, contributed to the eventual French victory in the war. The pomegranate, a symbol of victory and fertility, became associated with d'Estaing and his achievements. The woman in the print wears the hat with elegance and pride, her hair styled in the fashionable hairstyles of the time. The print is an exquisite example of the intricate detail and artistry of the hand-colored copperplate engraving technique. It is taken from an album of "Fashionable Hairstyles of 1783," published by Esnauts et Rapilly in Paris. The print not only showcases the latest hairstyle trends but also pays tribute to the French hero and his symbol of victory. This stunning print offers a glimpse into the fashion and history of the late 18th century, a time of change and revolution. The woman's confident and regal appearance, combined with the symbolism of the grenadiers bicorn hat, makes for a captivating and historically significant image.
