EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a stunning gown made of buff glazed chintz, worn by Madame Chevalier in 1795. The image is taken from the book "History of American Costume - Book One 1607-1800" written by Elisabeth McClellan and published by Tudor Publishing Company in New York in 1937. The photograph showcases the elegance and intricacy of this eighteenth-century garment, which was brought to Philadelphia from Martinique. The fabric features a beautiful floral pattern, adding a touch of femininity to the dress. Madame Chevalier's attire represents the fashion trends during colonial times in America. The image provides us with a glimpse into history, offering insights into both clothing styles and cultural exchange between countries during this period. It serves as an invaluable resource for those interested in studying fashion history or exploring the impact of British colonies on American culture. Although the creator of this particular print remains unknown, its preservation through time allows us to appreciate not only its aesthetic appeal but also its historical significance. This antique piece transports us back to an era when craftsmanship and attention to detail were highly valued. Displayed against a simple background in a studio shot, this gown stands as a testament to Madame Chevalier's refined taste and her contribution to shaping American fashion during that time.
