EDITORS COMMENTS
Step into the enchanting world of the 1800s, where fashion and mystery intertwined at masquerade balls. This handcoloured lithograph, titled "Fashionable guests at a masquerade ball, 1800," invites us to explore an opera ball held during the Year VIII of the French Republic. The image, taken from Octave Uzanne's Fashion in Paris, showcases a collection of fashionable guests dressed to impress, their identities hidden behind masks. In the foreground, a woman in a medieval headdress and a voluminous, hooded habit graces the scene with her elegant presence. Her dress, adorned with intricate embroidery and a corseted silhouette, accentuates the puff shoulders that were popular during the era. To her right, a man in a hussar uniform, complete with a bicorn hat, stands proudly, his uniform meticulously detailed. Another man, wearing striped breeches and a bicorn hat, adds a touch of playfulness to the scene. His casual attire contrasts with the formal elegance of the other guests, making him all the more intriguing. This fascinating glimpse into the past, preserved in the Cabinet des Estampes at the Bibliotheque Nationale, offers a glimpse into the fashion, society, culture, and aesthetics of the French Republic during the 19th century. The meticulous handcolouring and the expert illustration by Francois Courboin bring the guests and their elaborate costumes to life, transporting us back in time.
