Elegant Fashions of 1889: Lithographs by L. Michau and M. de Solar

About the Item

This lithograph presents an elegant fashion illustration from the late 19th century, specifically from the year 1889. The image depicts a woman standing in a formal gown, characterized by a high neckline, long sleeves with structured shoulders, and a tightly fitted bodice. The dress features horizontal bands of intricate floral patterns across the skirt and bodice, adding a touch of decoration to the otherwise monochromatic color scheme. The woman is accessorized with a stylish hat adorned with feathers and holds a small bouquet, emphasizing the sophisticated nature of the attire. The lithograph was produced by L. Michau, and the design is credited to M. de Solar, as indicated by the signature on the image. This illustration is part of a collection associated with the Exposition Universelle of 1889, an international exhibition held in Paris. The fashion plates were likely created to showcase the latest trends in women's fashion at the time, offering insight into the elegance and refinement of the era's style. This piece is a lithograph, a popular method for producing detailed and high-quality prints in the 19th century. Lithography involves using a grease-based medium on a flat surface, usually stone or metal, to create an image that can be inked and pressed onto paper multiple times, allowing for the mass production of illustrations like this one.
