Victorian Daywear: Elegant Fashion Lithograph - the Exposition Universelle 1889
About the Item
This lithograph showcases a fashionable woman from 1889, dressed in an elegant day dress that reflects the refined style of the late Victorian era. The gown is made from a light fabric with a subtle checkered pattern, adorned with horizontal stripes that add texture and visual interest. The dress features a fitted bodice with puffed sleeves that taper into slim forearms, and a wide lace collar that drapes gracefully over the shoulders, enhancing the neckline. The waist is cinched with a dark belt, emphasizing the hourglass silhouette typical of the period. The woman accessorizes her outfit with a small, stylish hat adorned with a ribbon and a feather, and she holds a delicate pair of glasses, suggesting a poised and thoughtful demeanor. The background elements indicate an outdoor setting, possibly a garden or a veranda.
This lithograph was produced by L. Michau, a well-known publisher of fashion illustrations during the 19th century.
This illustration is part of a series 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 sophistication that were celebrated at this prestigious international exhibition.
The piece is a lithograph, a common printmaking technique 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 method was particularly favored for fashion plates due to its ability to capture intricate details and subtle color variations, making it ideal for depicting elaborate clothing designs.
