EDITORS COMMENTS
This 16th century print, titled 'Women of Venice,' showcases the elegant and intricate fashion trends of the Italian city during this period. The image, handcolored and lithographed by E. Lechevallier-Chevignard, A. Didier, L. Flameng, and F. Laguillermie, is an exquisite representation of historical costumes as depicted in Georges Duplessis's seminal work, 'Costumes historiques des XVIe, XVIIe et XVIIIe siecles' (Historical costumes of the 16th, 17th and 18th centuries), published in Paris in 1867. The women in the print are dressed in long gowns, layered over underdresses, with open bosoms revealing intricate lace collars. Their long sleeves are adorned with delicate lace cuffs, adding to the overall allure of their attire. The women carry bags of silkworm eggs, symbolizing the importance of the silk industry in Venice during this time. The intricate details of their dresses, from the delicate lacework to the rich fabrics, are a testament to the artistic and cultural significance of fashion during the Renaissance era. The print offers a fascinating glimpse into the past, providing valuable insights into the fashion trends and societal norms of the 16th century. The Women of Venice, with their elegant dresses and bags of silkworm eggs, serve as a reminder of the rich history and cultural heritage that continues to inspire fashion to this day.
