Timeless Elegance: Victorian Fashion Litho by Michau from the Expo Universelle
About the Item
This lithograph presents a fashionable woman from 1889, dressed in an elegant gown that epitomizes the refined style of the late Victorian era. The dress features a high neckline with delicate lacework, and the bodice is adorned with intricate embroidery that extends down the length of the skirt. The gown has puffed sleeves that taper into fitted forearms, creating a dramatic yet sophisticated silhouette. The muted teal color of the dress is complemented by darker embroidery, adding depth and texture to the overall design. The woman's hair is styled in an updo, and she is adorned with a small floral headpiece, adding to the gracefulness of her appearance.
This lithograph was produced by L. Michau, a prominent publisher known for fashion illustrations during the 19th century.
This illustration is part of a series likely created for the Exposition Universelle of 1889, a world fair held in Paris that showcased cultural and artistic advancements. The fashion plates in this collection would have been used to display the latest trends in women's fashion, reflecting the elegance and sophistication expected at such a prestigious event.
The piece is a lithograph, a widely used printing method in the 19th century that involves creating an image with a greasy substance on a flat surface, usually stone or metal. This surface is then treated to allow ink to adhere only to the drawing, enabling the production of multiple high-quality prints. Lithography was especially popular for fashion plates due to its ability to capture fine details and subtle variations in shading and texture.
