EDITORS COMMENTS
This hand-colored engraving, titled "Three Girls Dancing" and created by Pierre de la Mesangere for his publication "Le Bon Genre" in Paris in 1817, offers a delightful glimpse into the fashionable and entertaining lifestyle of the Regency era. The image features three young girls, elegantly dressed in mid-calf length dresses adorned with intricate patterns and ruffles, engaging in a lively dance. Each girl wears a matching pantalon beneath her dress, a practical addition to allow for greater freedom of movement during the dance. The girls' hair is styled in ringlets, cascading down their shoulders and framing their faces, which are adorned with fashionable bonnets. A shawl is draped around the shoulders of one of the girls, adding an air of sophistication and warmth to the scene. The girls' expressions suggest joy and excitement as they dance together, highlighting the social nature of dance as an essential form of entertainment during this period. This satirical print, produced during the Napoleonic era, showcases the popular fashion trends of the time, including mid-calf length dresses and the use of pantalons beneath them. The intricate detail and vibrant colors of the hand-colored engraving bring the scene to life, transporting us back to a time of elegance, entertainment, and social connection.
