About the Item

This lithograph presents a fashionable woman from 1889, dressed in a sophisticated and intricate gown that exemplifies the elegance of late Victorian fashion. The dress features a dark, richly patterned fabric with puffed sleeves and a high neckline, which was characteristic of the period's style. The bodice is heavily textured, adding depth and visual interest to the ensemble. The skirt is adorned with vertical bands of intricate patterns and is accented at the hem with decorative purple roses, creating a striking contrast against the darker fabric. The woman holds a parasol in one hand and a small pair of glasses in the other, suggesting a poised and refined demeanor. Her accessories include a hat adorned with feathers and flowers, completing the sophisticated look. This lithograph was produced by L. Michau, a notable 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 intended to display the latest trends and luxurious styles in women's fashion, serving as both artistic and cultural representations of the time. The piece is a lithograph, a popular printmaking method 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 widely used for fashion plates due to its ability to capture intricate details and subtle color variations, making it ideal for depicting elaborate clothing designs.
