EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving from 1867 depicts a young Venetian woman delicately separating silk eggs, offering us a glimpse into the intricate process of silk production in the 16th century. Dressed in an elegant blue gown with gold sleeves and adorned with a pearl band in her blonde hair, she exudes grace and sophistication. Standing before a table, she prepares to pour the silk eggs into a glass of warmed Malvasia wine, which was believed to aid in softening the cocoons for thread extraction. This image is inspired by a handcoloured woodcut found in Dialoghi di Magino Gabrielli Hebreo Venetiano, published in 1588 as an instructional book on extracting silk thread. The artist Edmond Lechevallier-Chevignard beautifully captures every detail of this scene through his handcolored lithograph. Known for his expertise as both an illustrator and interior designer, Lechevallier-Chevignard brings life to historical costumes throughout his work. This enchanting print transports us back to Venice during its heyday as one of Europe's leading centers for silk production. It serves as a reminder of the rich cultural heritage associated with traditional costume and craftsmanship that has shaped societies throughout history. This particular artwork is part of Florilegius' private collection and showcases not only the talent of Lechevallier-Chevignard but also highlights the importance of preserving historical artifacts like these prints that offer insights into our past.
