EDITORS COMMENTS
This handcolored etching by Auguste Etienne Guillaumot Jr., titled "French Woman Wearing the Fashion of November 1791," offers a fascinating glimpse into the fashion trends of the French Revolution. The elegantly dressed woman in the image embodies the opulence and sophistication of the late 18th century, despite the political turmoil that was unfolding in France at the time. The woman's ensemble includes a high-waisted, fitted dress with a full skirt, adorned with intricate floral patterns. She pairs the dress with a large, voluminous wig, which was a popular style during this period. A fichu, or neckerchief, is draped around her neck, adding a touch of elegance and modesty to her outfit. The pièce de résistance of her attire, however, is the bonnet adorned with fresh flowers, which was a symbol of the French Revolution and a nod to the natural beauty of the countryside. The woman completes her look with a cane, which was a practical accessory for navigating the cobblestone streets of Paris. The intricate details of her outfit are beautifully captured in the handcolored etching, which adds vibrancy and depth to the image. This etching is taken from the comprehensive collection "Costumes of the French Revolution, 1790-1793," published by Bouton, New York, in 1889. The collection provides a valuable record of the fashion trends during this tumultuous period in history, offering insights into the lives of the French people during a time of great change and upheaval.
