EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a stunning French costume from the late 18th century, specifically between 1790 and 1794. The illustration is taken from the renowned book "The History Of Fashion In France" by Augustin Challamel, Frances Cashel Hoey, and John Lillie, published in 1882. In this image, we see a female figure adorned in an exquisite ensemble that epitomizes the spirit of the Republic during that era. Her dress is beautifully detailed with vibrant ribbons and colors that exude elegance and sophistication. The woman's hair is intricately styled to complement her attire perfectly. Accessories play a significant role in completing this fashionable look. She wears a stylish hat adorned with feathers or flowers, adding an extra touch of glamour to her appearance. A shawl gracefully drapes over her shoulders while she holds onto a bonnet or straw hat. This engraving not only captures the essence of fashion but also provides us with valuable insight into French history during this period of transition towards republicanism. It serves as a reminder of how clothing can reflect societal changes and cultural values. The creators behind this remarkable piece are Augustin Challamel, Frances Cashel Hoey, John Lillie, along with an unknown artist who brought their vision to life through their artistic talents. As we admire this print today, it allows us to appreciate both the artistry involved in its creation and gain knowledge about our rich historical past.
