EDITORS COMMENTS
This handcoloured lithograph, created by R.V. after an illustration by Francois Courboin from Octave Uzanne's Fashion in Paris (1898), depicts a fashionable couple in front of the Ambigu Theatre in Paris during the 1850s. The man is elegantly dressed in a jacket and check trousers, while the woman dons a striking blue crinoline dress and a black mantelet or cape. The Ambigu Theatre, located in the Bois de Boulogne, was a popular venue for the Parisian elite, and the lively scene outside the theatre is filled with soldiers, a tisane seller, and other onlookers. The year is believed to be around 1857, as the fashion depicted in the image is representative of the mid-19th century. The woman's violet crinoline dress, a popular style during this time, is accentuated by the contrasting black mantelet. The man's attire, with its tailored jacket and check trousers, reflects the refined taste and sophistication of the era. The Ambigu Theatre, which opened in 1834, was known for its productions of operas, ballets, and other theatrical performances. The theatre was a significant part of Parisian society and culture during the Napoleonic III Empire, and the fashionable crowd that gathered outside its doors was a testament to its influence. This image offers a glimpse into the aesthetics and social norms of the time, providing a fascinating window into the world of 19th-century French society. The intricate details of the lithograph, from the folds of the couple's clothing to the expressions on their faces, add to its charm and historical significance.
