EDITORS COMMENTS
This handcoloured lithograph depicts the elegant new foyer of the Theatre Francais in Paris during the 1860s. The Theatre Francais, located on the Rue de Richelieu, was a renowned cultural institution in the heart of the city, known for its high-quality productions and association with French literary greats. In the foreground, a stylish woman in a cream crinoline dress and purple pelerine, adorned with a yellow ribbon, captivates our attention. She gazes out from the balcony, taking in the scenic view of the Louvre and Jardin des Tuileries. A carriage waits below, suggesting that she may be about to depart for an evening engagement. The new foyer, designed by Prosper Chabrol, is a stunning example of the opulence and grandeur of the Second Empire period in France. Marble statues, including one of the celebrated philosopher Voltaire, grace the space, adding to the refined atmosphere. The intricate detail and vibrant colours of the lithograph, produced by R.V. after an illustration by Francois Courboin, provide a vivid glimpse into the fashionable world of French society during this time. Octave Uzanne's Fashion in Paris, published in 1898 by William Heinemann in London, features this image as part of a larger collection of plates showcasing the latest trends and aesthetics of the 19th century. This image offers a glimpse into the rich cultural heritage of France during the Napoleonic III Empire, a period marked by artistic innovation, social refinement, and a deep appreciation for beauty and elegance.
