EDITORS COMMENTS
This handcoloured lithograph depicts an elegant and fashionable crowd at the Bal Mabille, an outdoor dance held in the picturesque Jardin Mabille gardens located on Avenue Montaigne in Paris from 1844 to 1875. The image, created by R.V. after an illustration by Francois Courboin, captures the essence of 19th-century French high society and fashion culture. The women in the photograph are a vision of beauty and opulence, their wide crinoline dresses and fur capes swirling around them as they primp and prepare for the evening's festivities. They can be seen adjusting their shoulder-length hairstyles in the mirror, adorning themselves with bracelets and other accessories. The crinolines, with their full skirts and flounces, were a popular fashion trend during the Second Empire of Napoleon III, symbolizing wealth and status. The men, equally dapper, are seen donning top hats, jackets, and striped trousers, adding to the overall air of sophistication and elegance. The scene is set against the backdrop of the ballroom, where the party is in full swing, with couples twirling and dancing to the lively music. The Bal Mabille was a beloved social event in Parisian society, attracting the city's elite and fashionable crowd. The gardens provided a beautiful and romantic setting for the dance, making it a must-attend event for anyone who was anyone in Paris during the Second Empire. This image offers a glimpse into the fashion, culture, and esthetics of the time, transporting us back to a bygone era of elegance and refinement.
