EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning copperplate etching, created by Auguste Etienne Guillaumot in 1875, captures the essence of the extravagant and opulent hairstyles of the 18th century, specifically the iconic pouf hairstyle worn by Marie Antoinette and her court. The woman depicted in this image is adorned with a towering pouf, a massive structure of curls piled high on her head, held in place with an intricate network of pins and combs. The pouf is further embellished with delicate ringlets cascading down the sides of her face, adding to the overall grandeur of the style. The image also showcases the fashionable accessories of the time, with the woman wearing a diadem of pearls and feathers atop her pouf, as well as a long string of pearls draped around her neck. The intricate detailing of the etching allows for a close-up view of the intricate curls and the delicate pearls, giving the viewer a sense of the time and effort that went into creating such elaborate hairstyles. This etching is taken from the "Costumes et coiffures du XVIIIe siecle," or "Costumes and hairstyles of the 18th century," published by Cagnon in Paris in 1875. The original illustration was first published in the "Gallerie des Modes et Costumes Francais," or "Gallery of French Fashion," between 1778 and 1787. The image provides a fascinating glimpse into the world of 18th century French fashion and the iconic hairstyles that defined the era, most notably the pouf hairstyle made famous by Marie Antoinette.
