EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite handcolored illustration, titled "Woman of Paris, 16th Century, in Headdress," is a stunning representation of fashion from the past, created by the skilled hands of E. Lechevallier-Chevignard, with lithographs by A. Didier, L. Flameng, and F. Laguillermie. Originally published in Georges Duplessis's "Costumes historiques des XVIe, XVIIe et XVIIIe siecles" (Historical costumes of the 16th, 17th and 18th centuries) in Paris in 1867, this image offers a glimpse into the fashionable attire of the 16th century in Paris. The woman in the illustration wears a dark grey dress, which is both elegant and understated, accentuated by a lace collar that adds a delicate touch of sophistication. Beneath the grey dress, a scarlet underdress can be seen, adding a pop of color and contrast. However, the true centerpiece of this ensemble is the intricately designed headdress, which is adorned with pearls, feathers, and other ornate decorations. The headdress is a testament to the importance of headwear in fashion during this era, and the attention to detail in its creation is truly awe-inspiring. This illustration is a valuable historical record of the fashion trends of the 16th century, and it continues to captivate and inspire fashion enthusiasts and historians alike. The intricate details, from the lace collar to the elaborate headdress, provide a window into the past and offer insights into the fashion sensibilities of the time. The use of handcoloring and lithography adds an additional layer of artistry and beauty to the image, making it a true masterpiece of historical fashion documentation.
