Book Description
Excerpt from Mrs. Royall's Southern Tour, or Second Series of the Black Book, Vol. 2: In Three or More Volumes The Messrs. Joseph's are small, and very handsome men, mild and friendly, and are, in their dealings, reckoned the first men in the city. I say this of these gentlemen, particularly as they are Jews, as all those I have mentioned, are the cream of Charles ton. I saw a gentleman in the U. S. Bank, a very genteel look ing man, but he made some excuse of being engaged - we will try to ease him of his engagements: on such occasions a gentle man is never engaged. I do not know his name. Capt. E. J. Halsey, of the ship President, was amongst those who deserve notice - a noble looking man, and very affable.

Queen of Fashion

Pages : 452
Book Description
In this dazzling new vision of the ever-fascinating queen, a dynamic young historian reveals how Marie Antoinette's bold attempts to reshape royal fashion changed the future of France Marie Antoinette has always stood as an icon of supreme style, but surprisingly none of her biographers have paid sustained attention to her clothes. In Queen of Fashion, Caroline Weber shows how Marie Antoinette developed her reputation for fashionable excess, and explains through lively, illuminating new research the political controversies that her clothing provoked. Weber surveys Marie Antoinette's "Revolution in Dress," covering each phase of the queen's tumultuous life, beginning with the young girl, struggling to survive Versailles's rigid traditions of royal glamour (twelve-foot-wide hoopskirts, whalebone corsets that crushed her organs). As queen, Marie Antoinette used stunning, often extreme costumes to project an image of power and wage war against her enemies. Gradually, however, she began to lose her hold on the French when she started to adopt "unqueenly" outfits (the provocative chemise) that, surprisingly, would be adopted by the revolutionaries who executed her. Weber's queen is sublime, human, and surprising: a sometimes courageous monarch unwilling to allow others to determine her destiny. The paradox of her tragic story, according to Weber, is that fashion—the vehicle she used to secure her triumphs—was also the means of her undoing. Weber's book is not only a stylish and original addition to Marie Antoinette scholarship, but also a moving, revelatory reinterpretation of one of history's most controversial figures.
