Abstract:"Sartorial fashion become a medium for incisive political commentary in the charged atmosphere of the July 1830 Revolution in France, when journalists and printmakers exploited the fluid and free-wheeling way in which fashion styles could be associated with social types and values. The year 1830 was a moment when a new and vital culture of fashion and of satire took on the bourgeoisie’s image of banality and superficiality. The "bourgeois" citizen king Louis-Philippe served as an important focus for visual satire of this kind, at the same time that the extremes of contemporary fashion satirized the colonialist policies of the state. In the pervasive unsettlement of the era, as popular commercial visual media entered a new phase of expressive freedom, the fashion print functioned as a genre capable of bearing political weight, visualizing temporal and regime change in ways that were accessible to the broad public of the juste milieu."
