EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time to the elegant and extravagant world of masked balls with this stunning handcoloured engraving from Pierre de la Mesanger's Le Bon Genre, Paris, 1817. The image captures the preparations for a masquerade, where ladies adorned in costumes inspired by Switzerland and Normandy take great care to add diamond crosses and jewels to distinguish themselves.
Gone are the days of harlequins and pierrots at these grand events; instead, we see a display of opulence and sophistication in even the simplest peasant bonnets and coarse fabrics. The attention to detail is evident as each lady carefully selects her accessories to stand out amongst the crowd.
This engraving not only showcases the fashion of the early 19th century but also provides a glimpse into the social customs and norms of that era. From military influences to societal caricatures, every aspect of this image tells a story of leisure, elegance, and refinement.
Transport yourself back in time with this exquisite print that captures the essence of a bygone era filled with glamour, mystery, and intrigue. Let your imagination run wild as you envision yourself attending this lavish masquerade ball surrounded by beautifully dressed guests ready for an evening of revelry.
