EDITORS COMMENTS
This handcolored copperplate engraving, titled 'Haberdasher of Sewing Items, Paris, Early 19th Century,' offers a glimpse into the bustling world of a Parisian haberdashery during the Romantic Era. The image, created by Gatine after an illustration by Louis-Marie Lante, is taken from the publication 'Tradeswomen of Paris,' published in 1823. The haberdasher, depicted in the print, is shown in the midst of displaying a variety of sewing items to a potential customer. With an air of confidence and expertise, she meticulously arranges an assortment of textiles, trims, and notions on a well-worn wooden counter. The haberdasher's apron, adorned with intricate lace and embroidery, adds to the overall allure of the scene. The customer, dressed in the height of fashion for the early 19th century, is intently examining a selection of collars, lace, and hair accessories. Her ringlets cascade down her shoulders, and her hair is artfully arranged with extensions, creating a voluminous and elegant hairstyle. The haberdasher's assistant, standing behind the counter, assists in selecting the perfect collar for the customer. The intricate details of the print, from the delicate lace to the intricately patterned fabrics, are a testament to the skill and craftsmanship of the time. This enchanting image provides a window into the past, offering a glimpse into the daily life and work of a Parisian haberdasher and her customers during the early 19th century.
