EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the fashion of March 1792, during the tumultuous era of the French Revolution. The image showcases a stylish French woman adorned in an ensemble that epitomizes the trends of her time. Her head is crowned with a bonnet embellished with a striking cockade made of feathers, symbolizing her allegiance to revolutionary ideals. A full wig cascades down her shoulders, adding volume and grandeur to her appearance. Around her neck, she wears a large fichu or neckerchief, which not only serves as an accessory but also provides modesty and elegance. The woman's attire consists of a fitted redingote—a long coat-like garment—accentuating her figure while exuding sophistication. Her full skirts in scarlet create a bold statement, reflecting both fashion-forwardness and patriotism through their vibrant color choice. Auguste Etienne Guillaumot Jr. , renowned for his talent in etching, has skillfully captured this moment in history with hand-colored precision. His attention to detail brings out every nuance of this exquisite costume from the French Revolution period. This remarkable print is part of Victorien Sardou's collection of contemporary costume prints—an invaluable resource for those seeking insight into historical dress codes. It offers viewers today an opportunity to appreciate and understand the sartorial choices that shaped society during one of France's most transformative periods. Alamy presents this photograph as an homage to artistry and history rather than for commercial use. Through its preservation and dissemination, we can continue to celebrate the beauty and significance embedded within these timeless images from our past.
