Three Elegant Women in Bonnets with Tall Floral Displays: A Living Fruit Basket from Pierre de la Mesangere's Le Bon Genre, Paris, 1817 This hand-colored engraving, titled "Three Elegant Women in Bonnets with Tall Floral Displays," is an exquisite example of the satirical fashion plates produced by Pierre de la Mesangere for his publication Le Bon Genre during the Napoleonic and Regency eras. The image, published in Paris in 1817, showcases three fashionable women adorned in the latest styles of the time, each wearing a tall bonnet adorned with an extravagant floral display. The women's bonnets, a popular fashion trend during the Empire and Regency periods, are adorned with an array of vibrant flowers and lush greenery. The women hold a large green shawl between them, forming a living fruit basket. The shawl is filled with an assortment of ripe fruits, adding to the overall allure and charm of the scene. The intricate details of the women's clothing and accessories are beautifully rendered in the hand-colored engraving. Their elegant dresses, adorned with lace and intricate patterns, are complemented by their fashionable gloves and parasols. The women's bonnets, with their tall, conical shapes and delicate floral decorations, are a testament to the extravagance and elegance of the time. This image, with its lively and entertaining depiction of fashionable women and their floral displays, is a delightful representation of the lifestyle and entertainment of the Napoleonic and Regency eras. The use of hand-coloring adds an additional layer of beauty and detail to the already stunning engraving, making it a must-have for any collection of historical fashion plates or botanical illustrations.
