At the Concours Hippique in the Palais d'Industrie, 1892: A Snapshot of French Society and Culture This hand-coloured lithograph captures a moment of elegance and leisure at the Concours Hippique in the Palais d'Industrie, Paris, in 1892. The annual horse exhibition was a highly anticipated event in the spring social calendar, attracting the crème de la crème of French society. In the foreground, a woman in a lilac dress with delicate lace trim watches intently from the grandstand as the equestrian show unfolds before her. Her refined attire, complete with a velvet pelerine and a fur muff, is a testament to the opulence of the occasion. Behind her, children in bonnets and coats play games of hoop and stick in the Luxembourg Gardens, adding a touch of innocence and joy to the scene. The gardens, a popular destination for Parisians, offer a welcome respite from the grandeur of the horse show. The Palais d'Industrie, a symbol of the industrial and technological advancements of the Third Republic, provides a fitting backdrop to this snapshot of French society and culture in the late 19th century. The Concours Hippique represented a celebration of both the aesthetic and the practical, with the latest fashions on display alongside the finest horses. This image, created by Francois Courboin and published in Octave Uzanne's Fashion in Paris in 1898, offers a glimpse into the elegance, sophistication, and joie de vivre of French society during this period.
