EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a fascinating piece of fashion history - "The lightning hat of the ladies of Paris in 1778". Created by an unknown artist in the 19th century, this engraving is part of Louis Figuier's renowned book "The wonders of science". Intriguingly, this image captures a unique accessory that was popular among fashionable women in late 18th-century France. The hat itself appears to be adorned with what seems to be a miniature lightning rod, serving both as an eye-catching ornament and a practical safety measure during thunderstorms. The details depicted in this print are exquisite, highlighting the intricate design and craftsmanship involved in creating such an extraordinary headpiece. The woman wearing the lightning hat exudes elegance and confidence, showcasing how fashion can merge with functionality. This artwork provides us with a glimpse into the past, offering insight into the creativity and innovation that existed even within everyday objects like hats. It serves as a reminder that fashion has always been more than just aesthetics; it reflects society's values, concerns, and aspirations. Stefano Bianchetti skillfully captures every nuance of this historical artifact through his masterful reproduction technique. As we admire this print from our private collection today, we appreciate its artistic value while also contemplating how far we have come since those days when even hats were designed to protect against nature's fury.
