EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph print titled "FRANCE: DANCING, c1869" transports us back to a glamorous ball during the late 19th century. The image showcases officers of the French military elegantly dressed in their uniforms, exuding both power and refinement. One striking feature that catches our attention is the fashionable moustache and goatee sported by these gentlemen, which gained popularity during the reign of Napoleon III. The artist skillfully captures the essence of this vibrant social gathering through delicate watercolor strokes, immersing us in an atmosphere filled with music and dance. As we observe closely, we can almost hear the enchanting melodies floating through the air as couples gracefully move across the dance floor. This lithograph print was originally part of a dance diploma, serving as a testament to not only artistic talent but also dedication to mastering this art form. It now finds its place within Bradley Smith's Carousel Collection, preserving a snapshot of French leisure and culture from over a century ago. As we admire this timeless piece of art from Granger Art on Demand's collection by 140_1693460 (not affiliated with any company), it reminds us of how history intertwines with fashion and leisure activities. This print serves as an exquisite reminder that even amidst military duties, moments for joyous celebration were cherished by these officers in their distinctive attire at grand balls like this one in France during c1869-1879.
