EDITORS COMMENTS
This handcolored etching by Auguste Etienne Guillaumot Jr. transports us back in time to the French Revolution, specifically to the fashion trends of July 1792. The French woman depicted in the print exudes elegance and charm, donning the popular attire of the era. She wears a wide-brimmed hat adorned with vibrant flowers and ribbons, a symbol of the revolutionary spirit. Her hair is styled in an intricately coiffed wig, a common fashion choice during this period. The woman's neck and shoulders are covered by a fichu, or neckerchief, which was a versatile accessory that could be worn in various ways. A fitted jacket, also decorated with ribbons, completes her upper attire. The petticoat, the lower part of her outfit, is a voluminous, full skirt, which is both practical and fashionable. The print, titled "Costumes of the French Revolution, 1790-1793," is a testament to the rich history and cultural significance of this era. The meticulous detail and vibrant colors of the etching bring the fashion of July 1792 to life, allowing us to appreciate the beauty and elegance of a bygone era. Auguste Etienne Guillaumot Jr. was a renowned French artist and etcher, known for his detailed and accurate depictions of historical costumes. This print, part of a larger collection, provides a fascinating glimpse into the fashion trends of the French Revolution and the cultural context of the time.
