Artknits Thornhill Videos: The Beauty Of Victorian Women

Short video about the work of Anais Toudouse one of the most talented artists of the golden age of French Fashion Illustration. Created by Victorian Beauties on Zazzle. Visit: http://www.zazzle.com/victorianbeauti... Anais Toudouse was born in 1822 into a family of artists. She was one of three sisters who would go on to have successful careers in the booming fashion magazine industry of the late 19th century. These prints are what are known as "Fashion Plates" because they were engraved on plates of steel. Today we still use the expression - "she's a real fashion plate" - used to describe a fashion conscious woman. The Steel Plate technique was new at the beginning of the 19th Century. Steel engraving allowed publishers to print many copies of each image - making the business of printing illustrated magazines possible. Steel plate engravings were printed in black ink. Color printing did not yet exist. Each plate had to be colored by hand with watercolor paints, usually by girls and young women who were paid very little for this painstaking task. The original antique fashion plates shown in this video are available through Village Antiques - http://www.villageantiques.ch We have also created a special line of unique gifts based on antique fashion illustrations for our Victorian Beauties store. There you will find tshirts, posters, stationery, coffee mugs and more - all inspired by vintage fashion illustrations. These are available through http://www.VictorianBeauty.com Music Credits: Gymnopedie No. 1 composed by Eric Satie - Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com) Licensed under Creative Commons "Attribution 3.0" http://creativecommons.org/licenses/b..."
