Opulent Fashions of the Victorian Era: Lithograph by L. Michau and M. de Solar
About the Item
This lithograph illustrates a fashionably dressed woman from 1889, showcasing an elegant and luxurious gown typical of the late Victorian era. The dress features a high lace collar and voluminous puffed sleeves, emphasizing the structured and opulent style of the period. The bodice and sleeves are adorned with delicate lacework, which continues down the front of the gown in a finely pleated panel. The skirt is full and flows into a train, decorated with large, rose-like floral appliqués that add a touch of color and romance to the ensemble. The woman holds a bouquet of flowers, further enhancing the gracefulness of her pose. Her hair is styled in an updo, and she wears a small decorative crown, completing her regal appearance.
This lithograph was produced by L. Michau, a prominent publisher of fashion illustrations in the 19th century. The design is attributed to M. de Solar, as indicated by the signature on the illustration.
This illustration is part of a series likely created for the Exposition Universelle of 1889, held in Paris. The fashion plates from this collection were designed to showcase the latest trends in women's fashion, capturing the elegance and refinement of the styles presented at this grand international exhibition.
The piece is a lithograph, a popular printmaking method in the 19th century that allowed for the production of detailed and high-quality images. Lithography involves drawing on a flat surface with a greasy substance, which is then treated to allow ink to adhere only to the drawn areas. This technique was especially favored for fashion plates due to its ability to capture intricate details and subtle color variations, making it ideal for depicting elaborate clothing designs.
