Victorian Splendor: Fashion Lithograph from the 1889 Exposition Universelle
About the Item
This lithograph portrays a fashionable woman from 1889, dressed in a strikingly elegant gown that embodies the fashion sensibilities of the late 19th century. The dress is defined by its rich, deep pink color and is accented with horizontal bands of floral patterns running across the skirt and bodice. The gown features puffed sleeves, a high neckline with intricate detailing, and a fitted waist, creating a classic hourglass silhouette. The woman is depicted leaning against a rustic wooden fence, with a crown-like headpiece that adds to the regal elegance of her ensemble.
The lithograph was produced by L. Michau, a well-known publisher of fashion illustrations during the late 19th century.
This illustration is part of a collection intended for the Exposition Universelle of 1889, held in Paris. The fashion plates in this series were probably designed to display the latest trends and styles in women's fashion, reflecting the luxurious and refined tastes of the era.
The piece is a lithograph, a printing method that was widely used in the 19th century for producing detailed and high-quality illustrations. Lithography involves drawing an image with a greasy substance on a flat surface, typically stone or metal, which is then treated to allow for repeated printing with ink. This technique was particularly favored for fashion plates, as it enabled precise and consistent reproductions.
