EDITORS COMMENTS
This handcolored etching, created by Auguste Etienne Guillaumot Jr. in 1889, showcases a French woman's fashion from April 1792 during the French Revolution. The woman is elegantly dressed in the height of 18th-century French style, adorned with a hat that features an extravagant arrangement of flowers and feathers. Her voluminous wig, a common accessory for women of the time, cascades down her shoulders. The woman's neck and chest are covered by a fichu, a type of neckerchief, which adds a touch of sophistication to her outfit. Her striped redingote, a long coat with a front opening, is cinched at the waist with a sash, accentuating her figure. Beneath the redingote, she wears a petticoat with a ribbon hem that peeks out from the bottom of her coat. The French Revolution brought about significant changes to fashion, as people sought to distance themselves from the opulence and excess of the Ancien Régime. However, even during this period of political upheaval, women continued to prioritize style and elegance. This etching offers a glimpse into the fashionable world of a French woman from April 1792, a time when traditional styles began to give way to more simplified, practical clothing. Auguste Etienne Guillaumot Jr.'s meticulous attention to detail is evident in the intricate design of the woman's hat, the delicate folds of her wig, and the precise rendering of her striped redingote and petticoat. This image offers a fascinating look into the world of French fashion during the Revolutionary era.
