EDITORS COMMENTS
This handcoloured lithograph, created by R.V. after an illustration by Francois Courboin from Octave Uzanne's "Fashion in Paris," published in 1898, offers a glimpse into the bustling streets of Paris during the Bourbon Restoration in 1844. The Pont Neuf, one of the city's oldest bridges, serves as the backdrop for this scene, with its distinctive equestrian statue of King Henry IV standing proudly at the center. In the foreground, a woman in a green dress, adorned with a fur-trimmed cape and muff, engages in conversation with a boy wearing a cap, shirt, and trousers. Nearby, a dandy in a redingote and top hat leans against a booth, while a bearded man in a side saddle, dressed in a riding habit, approaches a café on the Boulevard des Italiens. The Pont Neuf was once home to the colorful stalls of mountebanks and quack doctors, but by 1854, these entertainers had disappeared, leaving behind a more refined and elegant atmosphere. This image captures the essence of French society during the July Monarchy, a period marked by an emphasis on culture, aesthetics, and the arts. The intricate details of the clothing, the lively interactions between the characters, and the vibrant colors of the handcoloured lithograph transport us back in time, offering a fascinating glimpse into the fashion and culture of 19th-century Paris.
