EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning handcolored engraving, titled 'Women's Fashion from 1760-1771,' is an exquisite illustration taken from the celebrated work 'Civil Costume of England from the Conquest to the Present Period,' published in London by Henry Bohn in 1842. The illustration was drawn by Charles Martin and expertly etched by his father Leopold Martin, who were both renowned artists in their own right. The Martins meticulously researched their subject matter, drawing inspiration from a variety of sources including tapestries, monumental effigies, illuminated manuscripts, and portraits. The result is a captivating and accurate representation of women's fashion during this period. The illustration showcases a range of elegant and intricately designed garments worn by women during the mid-18th century. The fashions depicted include voluminous petticoats, corsets, and bodices adorned with lace, ribbons, and other decorative elements. The use of handcoloring adds an extra layer of detail and vibrancy to the illustration, bringing the fashions to life. The 'Civil Costume of England' was a popular and influential work in its time, providing a valuable record of historical fashion trends and offering insights into the social and cultural contexts of the past. This illustration, in particular, is a testament to the artistry and dedication of the Martins, who painstakingly captured the essence of women's fashion during the 1760s and 1770s. Whether used as a decorative piece, a historical reference, or a source of inspiration, this beautiful illustration continues to captivate and delight viewers, offering a glimpse into the world of 18th-century fashion and the rich artistic heritage of the Martin family.
