EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Caricature of women's costumes in the era of King Henry III and IV" takes us back to the vibrant fashion scene of 16th-century France. Created by Alfred Grevin in 1850, this print showcases the extravagant attire worn during the reigns of these iconic monarchs. The women depicted in this caricature are adorned with elaborate ruffs, puffed sleeves, bodices, farthingales or hoop skirts, and petticoats. Their outfits exude elegance and sophistication as they proudly display their fashionable ensembles. One woman holds a cup and ball game called bilboquet while the other gracefully clutches a fan and handkerchief. Grevin's illustration offers a glimpse into the coquetry and beauty that defined this period. The intricate details captured through hand-colored engraving by Gilloy make each element come alive on paper. As we explore this image further, we can't help but marvel at how hairstyles played an integral role in completing these stunning looks. From intricate updos to cascading curls, every strand is meticulously styled to perfection. Transporting us back centuries ago, this enchanting print allows us to appreciate not only the artistry behind historical fashion but also its enduring influence on contemporary trends. It serves as a reminder that even after centuries have passed since King Henry III and IV ruled over France; their legacy lives on through artistic depictions like Grevin's masterpiece.
