EDITORS COMMENTS
This hand-coloured engraving from the Petit Courrier des Dames, a renowned French fashion magazine published in Paris, transports us back to the elegance and extravagance of 19th-century France. The print showcases two impeccably dressed individuals standing against a cream background, their outfits exuding opulence and refinement. The woman is adorned in a stunning full-length dress made of luxurious satin fabric. Her ensemble is completed with a fashionable bonnet embellished with feathers, adding an air of sophistication to her appearance. She holds a pair of gloves delicately in her gloved hands, emphasizing her attention to detail when it comes to accessorizing. Beside her stands a gentleman who complements her style effortlessly. He wears an exquisite cloak over his tailored suit, showcasing his impeccable taste in fashion. Both figures emanate confidence and poise as they pose for this studio shot. The hand tinting adds depth and vibrancy to the image, enhancing the intricate details of their attire. This print serves as a testament to the enduring allure of French fashion during this period. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece from James Laver's book "Fashions and Fashion Plates 1800-1900" we are transported into an era where clothing was not just functional but also served as expressions of artistry and social status. It reminds us that even centuries later, these timeless styles continue to inspire contemporary fashion trends around the world.
