Fashionable Carriages on the Boulevard des Italiens, 1855
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a stunning handcoloured lithograph capturing the elegance and opulence of Parisian society during the Second Empire. The image, created by R.V. after an illustration by Francois Courboin from Octave Uzanne's "Fashion in Paris," offers a glimpse into the fashionable world of Parisian high society. The Boulevard des Italiens, a popular promenade in Paris, is bustling with activity. On the left side of the avenue, a series of fashionable carriages, adorned with intricate designs and luxurious fabrics, line the track. Each carriage is drawn by a well-groomed horse, adding to the grandeur of the scene. The women in the foreground add to the fashionable atmosphere. They are dressed in the latest styles of the time, with large bonnets and jackets, and full crinoline skirts that swirl around them as they walk. One woman even brings her pet dog along, adding a playful touch to the elegant scene. In the background, the Avenue du Bois de Boulogne and the gardens can be seen, providing a picturesque backdrop to the fashionable carriages. The avenue, a popular destination for Parisians to enjoy a day out, adds to the lively atmosphere of the image. The intricate details of the carriages, the elegant attire of the women, and the well-groomed horses all contribute to the overall aesthetics of this beautiful lithograph. The image provides a fascinating insight into the fashion and culture of Parisian society during the Second Empire, a time of great prosperity and opulence. This handcoloured lithograph, created in 1898, is a testament to the enduring beauty and elegance of the 19th century French fashion scene. It is a must-see for anyone interested in the history of fashion, Parisian society, or the aesthetics of the Second Empire.
