EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant coloured engraving titled "Walking toilet, time of the French Consulate" takes us back to the 19th century and offers a glimpse into the fashion of that era. The illustration is part of The Book of Historical Costumes, which aimed to showcase the best specimens and most authentic documents from each period. In this particular image, we see a mother and her young daughter taking a leisurely stroll. Both are dressed in exquisite attire that reflects the style and trends of French fashion during the Consulate period in 1803. The mother dons an elegant dress with intricate details, while her daughter wears a charming bonnet atop her head. The artwork captures not only their fashionable clothing but also their graceful posture as they walk together. It transports us to a bygone era when promenading was not just about getting from one place to another but also an opportunity for people to display their social status through their clothing choices. This print serves as a valuable historical document, shedding light on both the sartorial preferences and societal norms prevalent during that time. It reminds us of how fashion has always been intertwined with culture and history, offering insights into different periods' values and aesthetics.
