EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from "La Mode Artistique, 1890,1943" takes us back to the elegant world of Victorian fashion. Created by an unknown artist and hand-coloured for the French publication, this exquisite fashion plate showcases a lady dressed in a stunning brocade dress. The attention to detail is remarkable as every line engraving and lithograph brings out the intricate patterns and textures of her attire. Set against the backdrop of a beautiful garden, the woman stands gracefully with a parasol in hand. Her gaze looks away, perhaps lost in thought or captivated by something beyond our view. The vibrant purple hue of her dress contrasts beautifully with the black accessories she adorns - adding depth and sophistication to her ensemble. Published by Penguin Books Limited in London and New York in 1943 as part of "Fashions and Fashion Plates 1800-1900" by James Laver, this print transports us to a different era where fashion was not just clothing but an art form itself. It serves as a reminder that even though time has passed, beauty remains timeless. As we admire this piece today, we pay homage to both its anonymous creator who brought it to life over a century ago and James Laver for preserving it through his book. This photograph allows us to appreciate not only the craftsmanship involved but also offers glimpses into history - reminding us how fashion has evolved throughout centuries while still leaving its mark on society's cultural fabric.
