Summary
| Description |
A 1793 contrast between French fashions of 1793 and ca. 1778, showing the large style changes which had occurred in just 15 years. The couple on the left, dressed in bleeding-edge up-to-the moment styles of 1793, is saying "AH! QUELLE ANTIQUITÉ!!!"; while the couple on the right, dressed in formal court styles of ca. 1778, is exclaiming "OH! QUELLE FOLLIE QUE LA NOUVEAUTÉ....." (For a contemporary 1778 color depiction of an outfit similar to what the woman on the right is wearing, see Image:1778-jeune-dame-de-qualite-en-grande-robe.jpg.) From Vernet's "Incroyables et Merveilleuses" series, 1793. This is a relatively low-quality scan. For a better scan of the left half, see Image:1793-1778-contrast-left.png and for a better scan of the right half, see Image:1793-1778-contrast-right.jpg . |
