EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph, titled 'Woman in Revolutionary Fancy Dress,' is a stunning example of the elaborate and theatrical costumes popular during the 1920s, inspired by the historic allure of the French Revolution. The image, created as part of the 'Our Fancy Dress Costumes' series published in Paris in 1928, showcases a woman dressed in a vibrant and intricately detailed revolutionary outfit. The woman wears a white bonnet adorned with red and blue ribbons, symbolizing the French revolutionary colors. A red tricolor scarf draped around her neck adds to the revolutionary theme, while her redingote, or short jacket, and petticoat are adorned with intricate white lace and embroidery. The outfit is completed with a pair of nostravestis, or high-heeled shoes, adding a touch of elegance and sophistication to the ensemble. The background of the lithograph features a depiction of the iconic Bastille prison, a symbol of the French Revolution's spirit of rebellion and liberation. The image is a testament to the enduring fascination with the French Revolution and its iconic imagery during the Jazz Age, a time of cultural and social transformation. This lithograph was created using the pochoir stencil and hand-coloring technique, which allowed for intricate and detailed color application, resulting in a visually stunning and historically accurate representation of a revolutionary-era costume. The image offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us to a time of revolution, history, and masquerade parties, making it a must-have for any history or costume enthusiast.
