About the Item

"Costume de Printemps – Elegant Early 19th-Century French Fashion Engraving" This finely detailed hand-colored engraving, titled Costume de Printemps, captures the refined elegance of early 19th-century French fashion. The print, published by 'Chez Marchand' and designed by 'Lanté' with engraving by Geoffroy de Saint, is a wonderful representation of the sophisticated attire worn by fashionable Parisians during the Empire and early Restoration period. The scene presents a well-dressed couple with a young boy, exuding style and refinement. The gentleman stands confidently in a brown cutaway coat, a cream-colored waistcoat with delicate embroidery, tight-fitting white trousers, and polished black riding boots. His tall top hat and cravat complete the look, emphasizing the dandyish aesthetic popular in early 19th-century France. The lady wears a lavishly detailed gown with multiple layers of lace and ruffles, a shawl draped over her shoulders, and a bonnet adorned with feathers. She holds a small red drawstring purse, a fashionable accessory of the time. The young boy, dressed in a blue suit with a miniature top hat and holding a riding crop, reflects the trend of dressing children in adult-style clothing. This engraving belongs to the tradition of French fashion plates, which became particularly influential in the early 19th century. These plates documented and popularized current trends, serving as a reference for tailors, dressmakers, and the fashionable elite. The artistry of this print is evident in the meticulous line work and delicate application of hand-coloring, which brings out the textures and details of the fabrics. The print is in very good antique condition, with well-preserved coloring and crisp detailing. The paper has a natural patina consistent with its age, and there are only minor signs of handling, such as faint toning and small foxing spots, which do not detract from its overall aesthetic appeal. For framing, a classic gold or dark wood frame with an archival mat in off-white or pale cream would complement the engraving’s historical character. Using UV-protective glass or museum-quality acrylic will help preserve the colors and prevent further aging. A floating mount could also highlight the print’s elegant simplicity and fine craftsmanship. This engraving is a charming and historically significant representation of early 19th-century French fashion, making it an excellent addition to collections focused on costume history, Regency-era style, or antique fashion prints.
