EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from "La Mode Illustree, 1878" takes us back to the elegant world of Victorian fashion. Hand-coloured and exquisitely detailed, this lithograph showcases a stunning evening dress worn by a fashionable lady in France during the late 19th century. The woman stands gracefully in a beautifully decorated drawing room, with a roaring fireplace adding warmth to the scene. The ballgown she wears is an epitome of sophistication and style. Its full-length silhouette drapes elegantly around her figure, adorned with frills and intricate details that highlight the craftsmanship of the era. The gown's vibrant green colour contrasts perfectly against her grey hairstyle and complements her rosy complexion. As we delve into this image, we are transported to a time when fashion was meticulously documented through magazines like La Mode Illustree. This publication played an essential role in shaping trends and inspiring women across countries. With its hand-tinted charm, this print captures not only the beauty of Victorian fashion but also provides us with glimpses into social customs and living spaces of that era. It serves as a reminder of how clothing can be both an expression of personal style and a reflection of societal norms. Thanks to James Laver's book "Fashions and Fashion Plates 1800-1900" we have access to these historical treasures that continue to fascinate us today. Penguin Books Limited has preserved these valuable insights for generations to come, allowing us to appreciate the artistry behind each garment captured within these pages.
