At this time, the illustration artist used different printmaking techniques, such as direct copper engraving, etching and lithographs, to complete many plates, and then hand-painted them one by one. This kind of "industry" naturally compromises with artistic expression in order to respond to the publication cycle. The models in some pictorials appear to be stiff, and the way of expression is also not rich in changes due to fashion requirements. This fashion print is an early version that has not been published as a publication before the 1830s. It should be from a book introducing fashion. At the end of the 18th century, women's clothing became "natural". Compared with the previous complicated tailoring, ordinary cotton or linen cloth is used at this time, and the styling is inspired by classical Greece and Rome. The cylindrical outerwear has short tights, small puffed or straight sleeves, and long and straight skirts. The waistline refers to the underside of the chest, and this waistline also has a proper term "empire line". *If you have any detailed questions, please send an email to contact the designer *The merchandisers of this design hall are mainly Western antiques, old jewellery and home accessories, and old European original prints.
