EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite French women's fashions of the late 18th century, specifically from the years 1780 to 1884. The image captures three distinctively elegant ladies, each representing a different style and era within this period. The rich bourgeoise stands proudly in her caraco, a fashionable jacket worn over a petticoat. Her attire exudes opulence and sophistication, reflecting her elevated social status. Next to her is a lady adorned in a formal gown with an elaborate la Victoire hairstyle, symbolizing the height of fashion during that time. Her regal appearance suggests she belongs to high society. Completing this trio is an elegant woman wearing a polonaise dress - characterized by its draped overskirt - which was popular during the latter part of the 18th century. She emanates grace and refinement as she stands gracefully beside her companions. This remarkable print is taken from "La France et les Français à Travers les Siècles". Volume IV, edited by F Roy and published by A Challamel in Saint-Antoine. It offers us insight into not only French women's fashion but also their evolving hairstyles and overall aesthetic preferences throughout history. With its vibrant colors and intricate details expertly captured through engraving techniques, this image transports us back to an era where elegance reigned supreme among French women. It serves as both a testament to their impeccable taste and as an homage to their enduring influence on global fashion trends.
