EDITORS COMMENTS
This handcoloured lithograph, titled "In front of the Palais de l'Industrie, Paris, 1866," transports us back to an elegant era of French society and culture. The image, taken from Octave Uzanne's Fashion in Paris, published by William Heinemann in London in 1898, is a beautiful reproduction of an original illustration by Francois Courboin. The Palais de l'Industrie, a grand edifice built for the Exposition universelle de 1855, serves as the backdrop for this enchanting scene. The palace was designed to host public, civil, and military events, and its imposing structure reflects the grandeur and sophistication of the time. The woman in the foreground, dressed in a striking grey and black crinoline gown, adds an air of elegance and mystery to the scene. Her fur hat and cape protect her from the chill of the evening air, while the sash around her waist adds a touch of glamour to her attire. The men in the background, also dressed in their finest evening wear, complete the scene of a gala soiree. The Tuileries Gardens, located behind the Palais de l'Industrie, are filled with people enjoying the festivities of the Fete de Tuileries in 1867. The lively atmosphere, combined with the fashionable attire of the crowd, adds to the allure of this stunning image. This print offers a glimpse into the aesthetics of French society during the Napoleonic III Empire, a time of opulence, elegance, and cultural sophistication. The intricate details of the handcoloured lithograph, from the folds of the crinoline gowns to the textures of the fur hats, transport us back to a bygone era and remind us of the enduring beauty and allure of 19th-century French culture.
