EDITORS COMMENTS
This handcoloured lithograph, titled 'The Bird-charmer in the New Tuileries Gardens, 1880,' offers a glimpse into the elegant world of Parisian society during the late 19th century. The image, created by R.V. after an original illustration by Francois Courboin, showcases two fashionable women enjoying an evening of entertainment in the newly renovated Jardin des Tuileries. The entrance to the park, adorned with ornate ironwork and illuminated by gas lights, sets the stage for an enchanting experience. The women, dressed in the latest fashion, are captivated by the bird-charmer's performance. One woman wears a bonnet adorned with a delicate ribbon and a shawl draped over her shoulders. Her dress, with full flounces and volants, is a testament to the opulence and extravagance of the era. The other woman, wearing a parasol and a top hat, adds an air of sophistication to the scene. The bird-charmer, with his top hat and cane, skillfully manipulates the birds, drawing the women's attention away from their conversation and towards the mesmerizing display. The lush greenery and vibrant colors of the gardens provide a beautiful backdrop to the scene, highlighting the esthetics and cultural significance of French society during the Third Republic. This image, taken from Octave Uzanne's 'Fashion in Paris,' published by William Heinemann in London in 1898, offers a rare glimpse into the past, allowing us to appreciate the beauty and elegance of a bygone era.
