About the Item

This lithograph illustrates two women dressed in fashionable attire from 1889, showcasing the diversity of styles and designs that characterized the late Victorian era. The women are depicted in different outfits, each with distinct patterns, colors, and details that reflect the elegance and sophistication of the time. 1. The first woman (on the left) is dressed in a striking pink gown adorned with a small dotted pattern. The gown features voluminous puffed sleeves that taper down to fitted lace cuffs, and a high neckline that is framed by a lace collar and lapels. The dress is tailored to fit snugly at the waist before flaring out into a full skirt. Decorative trim along the waistline and skirt hem adds a touch of refinement. The woman is accessorized with a small decorative hat, and she holds a parasol, completing her sophisticated ensemble. 2. The second woman (on the right) is dressed in a cream-colored gown with a delicate floral pattern accented by blue ribbons. Her dress also features puffed sleeves, but with lace overlay adding a layer of texture and detail. The bodice is cinched with a ribbon, and additional ribbons adorn the hem of the skirt, contributing to the decorative and feminine look of the outfit. She wears a stylish hat with a ribbon bow and holds a small accessory, perhaps a fan, adding to her poised appearance. Both women are depicted in an outdoor setting, which is subtly suggested by the background elements such as a garden or terrace. Above them, small sketches of the back views of their outfits provide additional detail and perspective on the design. This lithograph was produced by L. Michau, a prominent publisher of fashion illustrations during the 19th century. The design is credited to VanHerre, 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 intended to showcase the latest trends in women's fashion, reflecting the elegance and refinement of the styles presented at this grand 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.
