EDITORS COMMENTS
Fete at the Tuileries, 1867: A Palmy Evening of Parisian Grandeur This handcoloured lithograph captures the enchanting atmosphere of the Fete given at the Tuileries in Paris on the palmy evening of 10 June 1867. The event was held in honor of the sovereigns attending the International Exposition, and the image, taken from Octave Uzanne's Fashion in Paris, beautifully encapsulates the elegance and sophistication of the 19th century French society. The scene unfolds at the Cafe de la Rotonde, located near the Palais Royal, where a throng of fashionable men and women gather to enjoy the evening's festivities. A woman in a voluminous crinoline ball gown and a fur cape, her face veiled in mystery, stands out amidst the crowd. She is the epitome of Parisian style and grace, her attire a testament to the opulence of the era. Men, dressed in evening attire with sashes, mingle around her, their faces adorned with moustaches and muttonchops. They don top hats and check trousers, adding to the overall aesthetic of the scene. The gentlemen sit at tables, smoking cigarettes and sipping coffee from delicate porcelain cups, their faces illuminated by the soft glow of the lamplight. The setting sun casts a warm, golden hue over the scene, bathing the Tuileries in a soft, ethereal light. The Palais Royal, with its grand architecture, stands proudly in the background, a symbol of the Napoleon III Empire's grandeur and power. This image, created by R.V. after an illustration by Francois Courboin, offers a glimpse into the esthetics and culture of Parisian society during the late 19th century. It is a reminder of a bygone era, one marked by elegance, refinement, and the simple pleasure of enjoying the company of friends and the beauty of the world around us.
