EDITORS COMMENTS
Place de la Concorde, Paris, 1877: A Timeless Moment in French Fashion and Culture 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 fascinating glimpse into the fashionable world of late 19th-century Paris. The image, set against the iconic backdrop of Place de la Concorde, showcases two elegantly dressed women, their dark slim dresses and bonnets reflecting the refined taste and sophistication of the era. The serene atmosphere of the scene is further accentuated by the presence of the nearby fountains at the Luxor Obelisk. The women's parasols and fans provide a subtle contrast to the vibrant energy of the River Seine and the bustling steamboats, or 'bateaux-mouches,' moored nearby. The Exposition Universelle, held in Paris in 1878, is also referenced in the background, symbolizing the city's cultural and technological advancements during this period. The intricately detailed handcolouring adds an extra layer of depth and allure to this image. The women's fashionable attire, with their high collars, slim silhouettes, and ornate accessories, showcases the aesthetic sensibilities of French society during the Third Republic. This photograph is not only a testament to the enduring allure of Paris as a fashion capital but also a valuable historical record of the city's rich cultural heritage.
