About the Item

This lithograph presents a fashionable woman from 1889, dressed in a striking evening gown that exemplifies the opulence and refinement of the late Victorian era. The gown is made from a richly patterned fabric in deep tones, with a contrasting lavender sash that drapes elegantly from the waist to the floor, adding a touch of color and drama. The bodice features a high collar and is adorned with large bows on the shoulders, made from the same lavender fabric as the sash. The sleeves are puffed and voluminous, tapering into fitted cuffs that accentuate the silhouette. The skirt is full and extends into a modest train, with intricate lace detailing along the hem. The woman's hair is styled in an elegant updo, topped with a small decorative headpiece, completing the ensemble with a touch of regal elegance. This lithograph was produced by L. Michau, a recognized publisher of fashion illustrations during the 19th century. The design is credited to M. de Solar, as indicated by the signature on the image. 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 sophistication that were celebrated at this prestigious international exhibition. The piece is a lithograph, a popular 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.
