EDITORS COMMENTS
This handcolored etching by Auguste Etienne Guillaumot Jr. transports us back in time to October 1792, during the French Revolution, as we gaze upon a French woman elegantly dressed in the fashion of the era. The woman dons a tall, extravagant hat adorned with ribbons and feathers, a symbol of the revolutionary spirit. Her hair is styled in an intricate wig, a fashionable choice during this period. Draped around her neck is a fichu, or neckerchief, a versatile accessory that served both functional and decorative purposes. The woman's dress is a stunning example of the fashionable attire of the time. The bodice is tight and fitted, accentuating the waist, while the full skirt is embroidered with delicate flowers, adding a touch of femininity and elegance to the outfit. The dress is a testament to the opulence and intricacy of the French fashion scene during the Revolution. The etching, titled "Costumes of the French Revolution, 1790-1793," is a valuable historical record of the fashion trends of the time. It provides a glimpse into the lives of the French people during a period of great social and political upheaval. The meticulous attention to detail in the etching, from the woman's hat to her embroidered dress, showcases the artistry and skill of Auguste Etienne Guillaumot Jr. and the importance of fashion as a reflection of history and culture.
