EDITORS COMMENTS
In this exquisitely detailed handcoloured lithograph, a dapper gentleman is captured in the act of donning his carrick coat as he prepares to leave the fashionable salon of Frascati's in Paris, during the Year VIII of the French Revolution, around 1800. The public room at Frascati's was renowned for its lavish parties, balls, concerts, and gambling, attracting the elite of French society. The gentleman's elegant attire is a testament to the refined aesthetics of the Directory period, with his breeches and hose held up by a sash, and his white slippers peeking out from beneath his coat. His tricorn hat sits atop his head, adorned with a cockade, while a cane rests by his side. The Tuileries Gardens and the Jardin des Palais Royal can be glimpsed through the large windows, offering a glimpse of the picturesque Parisian landscape. This image is an illustration from Octave Uzanne's "Fashion in Paris," published by William Heinemann in London in 1898. The illustration is based on a work by Francois Courboin, providing a fascinating glimpse into the opulent world of 18th-century French society and its enduring fashion trends. The intricacy of the handcolouring adds an extra layer of allure to this stunning historical record.
