EDITORS COMMENTS
This chromolithography print from 1880 showcases the fashionable women's costume under the Directory era in France. The image is part of a series called "Fashion alphabet and costume history" published by the renowned Auguste Fretin shoe factory in Paris. Each letter of Fretin's first and last name was beautifully illustrated to depict various aspects of fashion during different historical periods. In this particular print, the Letter U takes center stage, highlighting the elegance and grace of women's attire during the late 18th century. The woman depicted exudes confidence as she adorns herself with a stunning shawl, hat, and eyeglasses that add an air of sophistication to her ensemble. The vibrant colors used in this chromolithograph bring life to every detail, emphasizing not only the beauty of these garments but also their significance within French society at that time. This artwork serves as both an alphabet primer and a visual representation of fashion evolution throughout history. As we gaze upon this exquisite piece from Bridgeman Images' collection, we are transported back to a time when style played a crucial role in expressing one's identity. It reminds us that fashion has always been an art form capable of capturing cultural shifts and societal values while celebrating individuality and creativity.
