EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite photoglyptie print depicts Queen Marie Antoinette of France holding an intricately designed ivory fan, a fashion accessory synonymous with the opulence and elegance of the 18th century French court. The fan, a symbol of refinement and status, is adorned with delicate floral motifs and intricate carvings, reflecting the intricate craftsmanship and artistic prowess of the time. The image is taken from "Fashions and Customs of Marie Antoinette and her Times," a comprehensive and lavishly illustrated book by Comte de Reiset, published in Paris in 1885. The author, a renowned historian and antiquarian, meticulously documented the fashion trends and social customs of the French court during the reign of Marie Antoinette and her predecessors. The fan is held by the Queen with an air of grace and sophistication, her regal attire and elaborate hairstyle further emphasizing her status as a monarch and a fashion icon. The print, produced using the photoglyptie process, captures the intricate details of the fan and the Queen's attire with remarkable clarity and precision. The print also bears the signature of Madame Eloffe, a dressmaker and linen-merchant to the Queen and the ladies of the court. Her signature serves as a testament to the close relationship between the author and the royal household, and adds an authentic touch to the print. The fan and the print offer a glimpse into the opulent world of the French court during the late 18th century, a time of grandeur, luxury, and artistic innovation. The intricate designs, the elegant poses, and the meticulous attention to detail all serve to transport us back in time, allowing us to experience the beauty and sophistication of the era firsthand.
