EDITORS COMMENTS
This handcoloured copperplate engraving captures the essence of fashion in 18th century France. The image showcases a fashionable woman adorned in a gauze cornette, or wimple, as she strolls through the picturesque Tivoli Gardens. Her hat is beautifully decorated with flowers and a loop of zephyr cotton, adding an air of elegance to her ensemble. The woman's kerchief is carefully edged and tucked into her belt over a laced dress, highlighting the attention to detail that was characteristic of this era. This particular model seen at Tivoli Gardens exudes sophistication and style. The artist behind this exquisite illustration is Pierre de la Mesangeres, who contributed to the renowned Journal des Modes et Dames in Paris during 1798. Collaborating with talented artists such as Carle Vernet, Claude Louis Desrais, and Philibert Louis Debucourt, Mesangeres created visually stunning representations of fashion trends for his readers. This print not only provides us with a glimpse into the sartorial choices of French women during this period but also offers insight into the cultural significance of places like Tivoli Gardens. As one explores this piece further, it becomes evident that fashion played an integral role in society - from royalists to republicans - transcending political boundaries. Overall, this artwork serves as both an aesthetic delight and historical artifact for those interested in exploring the world of fashion during the time when pleasure gardens like Tivoli were at their peak popularity.
