EDITORS COMMENTS
This handcoloured copperplate engraving captures a fashionable woman on the iconic Champs-Elysees in 1798. Dressed in an exquisite ensemble, she exudes elegance and sophistication. Her attire includes an Iphigenia veil adorned with a wreath of foliage, a white seethrough capelet, a delicate lace shawl, and a long pink dress that cascades gracefully around her figure. In her hand, she holds a rebus bag or reticule, adding intrigue to her ensemble. The rebus bag was not just a fashion accessory but also served as a code or puzzle for those who could decipher it. This detail adds an element of mystery to the image. The artist skillfully captures the essence of this moment in time when France was undergoing significant political changes during the French Revolution. The date inscribed on the print, July 3rd, 1798, further emphasizes this historical context. This enchanting illustration is part of Pierre de la Mesangeres Journal des Modes et Dames from Paris in 1798. Volume one featured illustrations by renowned artists Carle Vernet, Claude Louis Desrais, and Philibert Louis Debucourt. Through this image, we catch glimpses of both fashion trends and societal transformations during this period known as the Directoire era. It serves as a testament to the artistic talent and cultural significance that permeated every aspect of life at that time.
