EDITORS COMMENTS
This handcoloured lithograph depicts a fashionable woman, dressed in a green gown with a train and mantelet lined with fur, strolling through the Square of the Tuileries in Paris during the winter of 1870. The serene atmosphere is contrasted by the presence of soldiers and families huddled together, perhaps seeking refuge from the ongoing siege of Paris by the Prussians and the Germans. The Palais des Tuileries, with its magnificent ramparts, can be seen in the background. The woman's elegant attire, reminiscent of the opulence of the French Empire under Napoleon III, stands in stark contrast to the harsh realities of war. She carries a black hat in her hand, while a gentleman, also dressed in fashionable attire, looks on from a distance, using binoculars or a telescope to observe the scene. The snow-covered ground and the playful children in the foreground add to the sense of stillness and tranquility amidst the chaos of war. This beautiful illustration, created by Francois Courboin and published in Octave Uzanne's Fashion in Paris in 1898, offers a glimpse into the fashionable society and culture of 19th century Paris, a time of great esthetics and artistic innovation.
