About the Item

This lithograph showcases a fashionable woman from 1889, dressed in a highly detailed and decorative gown. The dress is characterized by multiple tiers of ruffled fabric, adorned with a small floral pattern that adds a delicate and feminine touch to the outfit. The bodice features puffed sleeves with lace trim, and the waist is cinched with a sash, emphasizing the hourglass silhouette that was fashionable during this period. The woman is accessorized with a feathered hat and holds a parasol, completing the elegant ensemble typical of late 19th-century high society. This lithograph was produced by L. Michau, a prominent publisher of the time. This illustration is part of a collection created for the Exposition Universelle of 1889 in Paris. The fashion plate was probably intended to display the latest trends in women's fashion, providing an example of the styles admired and worn during this significant cultural and artistic event. The technique used here is lithography, a popular printmaking method in the 19th century. Lithography involves drawing with a greasy substance on a flat stone or metal plate, which is then inked and pressed onto paper. This technique allows for the detailed and precise reproduction of the original design, making it ideal for fashion illustrations.
