EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite hand-colored copperplate engraving showcases a fashionable woman of the late 18th century wearing the elegant and intricate hairstyle known as the "Couronne" or "Crown." The hairstyle features a voluminous backcombed base, topped with a tall pouf adorned with rounded pleats, pearls, and two tasseled "glands." The pouf is further accentuated by a reversed tape, adding an extra layer of texture and dimension. The woman's curls and ringlets cascade down the sides of her face, framing it with softness and grace. The hairstyle, depicted in this engraving from the "Album of Fashionable Hairstyles of 1783," published by Esnauts et Rapilly in Paris, was a popular choice among the aristocracy and the fashionable elite of the time. The intricate design and use of luxurious materials such as pearls and tassels underscored the wearer's wealth and status. The hairstyle's grandeur and opulence reflect the extravagance and elegance of the late 18th century, a time when personal appearance was a reflection of one's social standing. The woman in the engraving gazes directly at the viewer with a confident and serene expression, her posture impeccable, and her demeanor regal. The intricately designed hat, with its delicate pleats and pearls, sits atop her head like a royal crown, further emphasizing her stature and sophistication. The hairstyle's timeless beauty and elegance continue to inspire and captivate us even today, making it a testament to the enduring allure of the late 18th century and its fashionable traditions.
