專家說明
The first images of 'fashion' appear to have been in the form of engravings in the second half of the 17th century in France, which depicted well-known figures dressed in the costumes of the day. This was apparently invented by the Bonnart family of the rue St. Jacques, four brothers - Nicolas, Henry, Robert and Jean-Baptiste - who were engravers, publishers and marchands. Their engravings were often embellished with gold and silver threads, colours and materials; and were very popular at the time. They were imitated by Jean Mariette, examples of whose work are conserved at the Musée Carnavalet, Paris, and Antoine Trouvain.
