EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning handcoloured fashion plate, titled "Costume of a woman near Rouen, 1827," is an exquisite example of French fashion during the early 19th century. The illustration was created by Pecheux and meticulously engraved by Gatine for the publication "105 Costumes of the Departments along the Seine" by Louis-Marie Lantes. The image depicts a woman gracefully dressed in the latest fashion trends of the time, with a fair-complexion and an air of elegance and refinement. She wears a high-waisted, full-skirted dress with a fitted bodice, adorned with intricate lace and embroidery. The bodice is accentuated by a gorgon, a decorative band that cinches the waist and adds a touch of sophistication to the ensemble. The woman's hairstyle is also noteworthy, with her long, curly locks piled high on her head and held in place by a delicate headpiece. Her accessories include a pair of long, white gloves and a shawl draped around her shoulders, adding a sense of warmth and comfort to the image. The handcolouring adds a richness and depth to the illustration, bringing the woman and her costume to life. The attention to detail is remarkable, from the intricate patterns on the fabric to the delicate shading and highlighting of the woman's features. This fashion plate provides a glimpse into the past, offering a glimpse into the fashion trends and styles of the time. It is a beautiful and intriguing reminder of the elegance and sophistication of the early 19th century, and a testament to the skill and artistry of the artists and engravers of the time.
