EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Woman and child with Caracalla haircuts, 1798" transports us back to the elegant fashion of the late 18th century. The image showcases a woman and her young child donning unique hairstyles known as Caracalla cuts, popularized during that era. The woman's curly version of the Victim cut exudes a sense of sophistication and style. Both mother and child are dressed in Roman tunic dresses, reflecting their admiration for ancient Roman fashion trends. Completing their ensembles are delicate sandals, adding an air of gracefulness to their overall appearance. A notable detail is the needle-work bag named Balantine hanging from the woman's waist belt. This accessory not only serves a practical purpose but also adds an element of charm to her ensemble. The handcoloured copperplate engraving was originally featured in Pierre de la Mesangeres Journal des Modes et Dames in Paris in 1798. It is part of volume one which includes illustrations by renowned artists such as Carle Vernet, Claude Louis Desrais, and Philibert Louis Debucourt.
