EDITORS COMMENTS
This handcolored etching by Auguste Etienne Guillaumot Jr. showcases a petite bourgeoise woman of Paris during the early 19th century, specifically dressed in the fashion of March 1793. The woman's elegant attire reflects the transformative period of the French Revolution, as the monarchy was overthrown and the citizens embraced new styles and ideals. The woman's outfit consists of a high-waisted jacket with a tight bodice and full skirts, which was a popular style during this time. The bodice is adorned with intricate details, such as ruffles and lace, emphasizing the wearer's refined taste and affluence. The jacket is paired with a fichu, a long neckerchief that was worn around the neck and shoulders, adding an air of sophistication to the ensemble. The woman's hair is styled in an elaborate wig, which was a common fashion choice for women of the upper classes during the late 18th and early 19th centuries. Her bonnet, adorned with ribbons and flowers, completes the look and adds a touch of femininity to the outfit. This etching is taken from "Costumes of the French Revolution, 1790-1793," published in Bouton, New York, in 1889. The meticulous attention to detail and the use of handcoloring bring the woman's outfit to life, transporting us back in time to the streets of Paris during the French Revolution. The image offers a glimpse into the fashion and culture of the era, providing a valuable historical record for fashion enthusiasts and scholars alike.
