Enhanced Engraving From The Late 18th Century. *the New Incredible* Or *the Goose In Style*
French society breathed a sigh of relief in 1795; after the grim horrors of the Reign of Terror, people were enjoying themselves once again, and fashion reflected this spirit of newfound freedom.
Young people at the time sported extravagant outfits—with enormous collars for men and very light, airy dresses for young women.
This was the era of the Merveilleuses and the Incroyables, who reveled in joyful evening parties.
This rare engraving playfully pokes fun at the new fashion by caricaturing men’s new dress styles in the form of a goose.
It was framed in the 1950s with a simple, thin gold frame and a pretty mat accented with blue gouache (slightly chipped).
