Marie Antoinette


Coiffure à l'indépendance ou le Triomphe de la Liberté, 1778 
printmaking (engraving) by anonymous.



The words on top left side of this printmaking;

'The hair style for independance and victory of freedom.'


Marie Antoinette wanted to show

her support for the freedom of the American colonies

as she wore this huge hat

in the shape of the French navy ship which won

the battle against the British.
