EDITORS COMMENTS
This image showcases a fashionable young man of the era of Marie Antoinette, elegantly dressed in a coat adorned with oval buttons, a striped waistcoat, and hose. The coat, with its refined design and elegant cut, is a testament to the opulence and sophistication of the 18th century. The young man's attire is further accentuated by the intricate details of his chapeau and the parasol he holds, both popular accessories during this period. The exquisite detail in this photograph is a result of the meticulous process of copperplate etching. Auguste Etienne Guillaumot, a renowned French printmaker, created this etching based on an original illustration by Francois Louis Joseph Watteau from the "Gallerie des Modes et Costumes Francais," published in Paris in 1875. The illustration itself was originally created in the late 18th century, providing a fascinating glimpse into the fashion trends of the time. The young man's attire is a striking contrast to the elegant yet demure outfits commonly worn by women of the era, as depicted in other illustrations from the same series. The intricate hairstyles, petticoats, and jackets of the women, as well as their delicate parasols, are also beautifully captured in the "Gallerie des Modes et Costumes Francais," offering a comprehensive view of the fashionable world of the late 18th century. This photograph is a valuable historical record of the fashion trends and cultural nuances of the Marie Antoinette era, providing a captivating glimpse into the opulence and elegance of the time. The intricate details of the young man's attire, captured through the art of copperplate etching, serve as a testament to the enduring allure of this fascinating period in history.
