An adorned print: Print culture, female leisure and the dissemination of fashion in France and England, around 1660-1779
Marie-Thérèse Perdou de Subligny (1666-1735) was one of the first opera dancers, with a career that began in around 1688. Her presentation in an adorned engraved print (fig.1) provides an ideal platform for the discussion of cultural life between 1660 and 1779, bringing together diverse issues such as the production and consumption of French prints; opera; celebrity; the dissemination of fashion and female domestic craft. This paper sets the Subligny print in its cultural contexts, and rejects the notion that decorated engravings, such as this one, disseminated contemporary fashions.
