EDITORS COMMENTS
This handcolored lithograph, titled "English-Ingenue Headdress with Feathers, Hedgehog Hairstyle and Lazy-Woman Bonnet," is an exquisite illustration from the esteemed journal "Fashions and Customs of Marie Antoinette and her Times," published in Paris in 1885 by Comte de Reiset. The image showcases an English ingenue, a young woman of refined sensibilities, adorned in the latest fashion trends of the time. The English ingenue's headdress is a stunning work of art, featuring an intricate arrangement of feathers that cascade down her back, evoking the grace and elegance of the natural world. The hedgehog hairstyle, a popular choice among fashionable women during the 18th century, is accentuated by the headdress, with the curls arranged in a quirky, spiky pattern that resembles the prickly back of a hedgehog. The lazy-woman bonnet, a practical yet chic accessory, completes the look, adding a touch of whimsy and playfulness to the overall ensemble. The bonnet's simple yet elegant design is a testament to the ingenuity of fashion during the era, where functionality and aesthetics were skillfully combined. This illustration is a precious piece of history, offering a glimpse into the fashionable world of Marie Antoinette and the ladies of the French court. The journal, compiled by Madame Eloffe, a renowned dressmaker and linen-merchant to the Queen and her court, provides a valuable record of the fashion trends and customs of the time. The intricate details of the illustration, from the delicate feathers to the intricate bonnet design, are a testament to the skill and artistry of the lithographers of the time. This image is a must-have for anyone interested in the history of fashion, particularly during the 18th century, and is a beautiful addition to any collection of historical prints.
