EDITORS COMMENTS
In this handcoloured lithograph from the 19th century, a fashionable couple is seen taking a leisurely stroll along the Boulevard du Temple in Paris. The bustling street, known for its many small theatres and panoramas, is filled with crowds in the background, creating a vibrant and lively atmosphere. The woman, elegantly dressed in a high-waisted walking dress with a spencer jacket and a bonnet adorned with a high lace collar, gazes intently through the window of a passage leading to Montmartre. Her companion, a man in a top hat and a fashionable coat, looks on with a smile. The Boulevard du Temple, located in the 11th arrondissement of Paris, was a popular destination for Parisians and tourists alike during the Empire and Napoléon III eras. The street was famous for its diverse entertainment offerings, including puppet shows, acrobatics, and panoramas. One of the most famous attractions was the "Battles of the Boulevard du Temple," which featured large-scale battle scenes from various wars, including Robert Fulton's "Battle of Boulogne" and "Battle of Constantinople." This intriguing image, created by R.V. after an illustration by Francois Courboin, is taken from Octave Uzanne's "Fashion in Paris," published by William Heinemann in London in 1898. The lithograph offers a fascinating glimpse into the fashionable society and cultural aesthetics of Paris during the 1800s, as well as the city's rich entertainment scene. The handcoloured lithograph adds an extra layer of detail and depth to the already captivating scene, making it a must-see for anyone interested in the history of fashion, Paris, or the 19th century.
