EDITORS COMMENTS
This handcolored etching by Auguste Etienne Guillaumot Jr. transports us back in time to February 1792, during the French Revolution, where we encounter a fashionable French woman adorned in the latest trends. The woman's ensemble consists of a high-waisted, fitted dress with full skirts, trimmed with delicate frills, reflecting the elegance and opulence of the pre-Revolutionary era. She pairs her dress with a large, voluminous wig, tied with a satin ribbon, and a fashionable bonnet adorned with an extravagant plume of feathers. A fichu or neckerchief, draped around her neck, adds a touch of sophistication and practicality to her attire. The woman completes her look with a stylish cane, a popular accessory among the French elite during this period. This image is taken from 'Costumes of the French Revolution, 1790-1793,' published by Bouton, New York, in 1889. The meticulous attention to detail in the handcoloring brings the woman and her fashionable attire to life, providing a fascinating glimpse into the world of French fashion during the Revolutionary era.
