Artist
Chaumont
Chaumont is an artist. 1 work is cataloged here, principally at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This mid-19th-century artist carved small, hand-colored prints that tracked Parisian street fashion. One print from the H Beard Collection shows top hats and crinolines striding along the Rue de la Paix. Their work belongs to the era when fashion plates turned into collectible prints, sold in stationer’s shops and tossed into scrapbooks. Curious how clothes became portable art? Slide over to the Rue de la Paix print and watch the hats change shape across the page.
