EDITORS COMMENTS
This handcoloured copperplate engraving from 1798 showcases the rear view of a woman dressed in the fashionable attire of the time. The French School artist skillfully captures every intricate detail, allowing us to admire this exquisite ensemble. The woman wears a satin hood cap delicately edged with tulle, adding an air of elegance to her appearance. Her laced bodice is adorned with a shawl tied behind, creating a graceful silhouette. The bottom of her dress is embellished with silk and pearl ornaments, further enhancing its beauty. Titled "Rear view of woman in the fashions of 1798" this print provides us with a glimpse into the fashion trends during this period. It was featured in Pierre de la Mesangeres Journal des Modes et Dames, which was renowned for its illustrations by esteemed artists such as Carle Vernet, Claude Louis Desrais, and Philibert Louis Debucourt. As we observe this image today, it serves as a reminder of the artistic talent that flourished during the 18th century. This particular piece transports us back to an era marked by political turmoil and social change –the French Revolution and Directoire period– where fashion became intertwined with politics as royalists clashed with republicans. With its meticulous detailing and historical significance, this handcoloured copperplate engraving offers both aesthetic pleasure and insight into an important chapter in history.
