EDITORS COMMENTS
In this handcoloured lithograph, a fashionable couple gracefully poses in front of Louis Bignon's Cafe Foy on the corner of rue de la Chaussee-d'Antin and boulevard des Italiens in Paris, circa 1833. The man, dressed in a militaire redingote and top hat, embodies the dandyism of the period with his impeccably tailored coat and stylish headgear. His companion, a woman of elegance and refinement, dons a dress adorned with wide sleeves and a full skirt, as well as a fur shawl and an Alsatian cap. The couple's attire reflects the romantic and esthetic sensibilities of the Bourbon Restoration era, a time when French society embraced opulence and grandeur following the end of the Napoleonic Wars. The setting, Cafe Foy, was a popular gathering place for Parisian high society, known for its elegant atmosphere and lively social scene. The couple's pose suggests they are on their way to a grand ball or dance, their outfits a testament to the importance of fashion and personal appearance during this period. The man's coat tails are swept back, revealing his trousers, while the woman's dress is trimmed with intricate detail, including feathers and other decorative elements. This beautiful image is a handcoloured lithograph after an illustration by Francois Courboin, taken from Octave Uzanne's Fashion in Paris, published by William Heinemann in London in 1898. The lithograph captures the essence of the fashionable world of 19th century Paris, offering a glimpse into the opulent and romantic culture of the time.
