EDITORS COMMENTS
This handcolored etching by Auguste Etienne Guillaumot Jr. transports us back in time to January 1793, during the French Revolution, where we encounter a stylish French woman adorned in the fashion of the era. The woman's ensemble is a testament to the opulence and elegance that defined the period, despite the political turmoil that was unfolding. The woman's headpiece is a grand bonnet, adorned with delicate ribbons, vibrant feathers, and roses, adding a touch of femininity and charm to her appearance. Her wig, a common accessory for women during this time, is styled in an elegant updo, drawing attention to her elegant neckline. The woman's neck is covered by a fichu, a type of neckerchief that was a staple in French fashion during the late 18th century. Her fitted bodice dress, with its intricate detailing and low neckline, accentuates her figure, while the full skirt and ribbon hem add volume and grace to her silhouette. This etching, taken from "Costumes of the French Revolution, 1790-1793," published in Bouton, New York, in 1889, offers a glimpse into the fashionable world of the French Revolution. The intricate detail and vibrant colors of the print bring the woman and her attire to life, allowing us to appreciate the beauty and elegance of a bygone era.
