La Coup de la Jarretière
EDITORS COMMENTS
(The Garter), circa 1875-1880, is an intriguing and elegant photograph capturing the essence of 19th century European fashion. The identity of the creator of this image remains unknown, but it is believed to be the work of Felicien Joseph Victor Rops (1833-1898), a renowned Belgian artist and illustrator, known for his works in heliogravure and lithography. The photograph depicts a woman, dressed in the height of fashion from the late 1870s, seated and looking directly at the viewer. Her attire consists of a voluminous, high-necked dress with long sleeves, adorned with intricate lace and beadwork. The dress is cinched at the waist with a thick, decorative garter, from which the title of the image derives. Her headdress is a striking contrast to her simple yet elegant dress, featuring a tall, ornate hat with a large, flowing veil. The photograph, which is part of the collection at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), is a testament to the rich cultural heritage of Europe during this period. The image not only showcases the fashion trends of the time but also offers a glimpse into the lives of women during the 1800s. The woman's confident and poised demeanor adds to the allure of the photograph, making it a captivating piece of art and historical record. The photograph is a beautiful example of the intricate details and exquisite craftsmanship that characterized the fashion of the 19th century. The contrast between the simple, yet elegant dress and the ornate headdress, as well as the woman's direct gaze, make this image a true masterpiece of the era. Despite the unknown creator, "La Coup de la Jarretière" continues to captivate and inspire viewers with its timeless beauty and historical significance.
