EDITORS COMMENTS
The Grand Prix Day, 1895: A Splendid Display of Fashion and Sport at Longchamp Race Track This handcoloured lithograph, created by R.V. after an illustration by Francois Courboin from Octave Uzanne's Fashion in Paris, published in 1898 by William Heinemann in London, offers a glimpse into the grandeur and elegance of Parisian society during the late 19th century. The scene unfolds at Longchamp race track during the Grand Prix Day in 1895, an event that brought together the crème de la crème of French high society. The image is dominated by a fashionable woman in a check blouse with wide, voluminous sleeves and a long skirt, adorned with ribbons. Her attire reflects the trend of the time, which embraced the fusion of practicality and aesthetics, particularly in the realm of bicycling fashion. The woman's outfit is a testament to the growing popularity of cycling as a sport for ladies, who sought to combine style and functionality in their clothing. The crowd at the race track is a fascinating mix of fashionable gentlemen in top hats, soldiers, and passengers in carriages. The gentlemen's attire, with their tailored suits and top hats, epitomizes the refined elegance of the era. Soldiers, in their uniforms, add an air of authority and discipline to the scene. Passengers in carriages, dressed in their finest, represent the opulence and luxury of the Parisian elite. The lithograph, with its intricate details and vibrant colours, transports us back to a time when Paris was the cultural epicenter of Europe. The Grand Prix Day at Longchamp race track was not just a sporting event, but a grand spectacle of fashion, game, and social interaction that embodied the spirit of the French Republic during the Third Republic.
