EDITORS COMMENTS
This handcolored etching by Auguste Etienne Guillaumot Jr., titled "French Woman Wearing the Fashion of February 1792," offers a glimpse into the fashionable attire of the French Revolution era. The elegant woman in the print wears a high-waisted, tight redingote, a long-sleeved jacket with a close-fitting bodice and full, voluminous skirts. The redingote is adorned with intricate bows and frills, adding to its ornate design. The woman's hair is styled in an elaborate wig, adorned with delicate flowers, which was a popular fashion trend during this time. She also wears a fichu, a neckerchief that is wrapped around her neck and chest, adding a touch of sophistication to her outfit. The woman holds a single rose in her hand, adding a natural and romantic element to the print. The use of handcoloring adds depth and vibrancy to the image, making the woman's attire and the flowers stand out even more. This print is from the collection "Costumes of the French Revolution, 1790-1793," published by Bouton, New York, in 1889. The collection was a popular resource for those interested in the history and culture of the French Revolution, providing detailed illustrations of the fashion trends of the time. The fashion of February 1792 marked a significant shift from the opulent and extravagant styles of the Ancien Régime to simpler, more practical designs that reflected the changing political and social climate of the time. This print captures the essence of this transition, offering a fascinating glimpse into the world of French fashion during the French Revolution.
