A Charming Moment on the Seine: A Handcoloured Lithograph of a River Boat from the 1878 This handcoloured lithograph, created by R.V. after an illustration by Francois Courboin from Octave Uzanne's Fashion in Paris, published in 1898, depicts a leisurely scene on the River Seine in Paris during the late 19th century. The image showcases a tourist steamboat, known as the Bateaux Mouches, which was first launched at the Exposition universelle de 1867. The boat is filled with fashionable women, each dressed in elegant attire, enjoying the picturesque views of the riverbank. In the foreground, a woman in a pink dress, adorned with a parasol and fan, gazes out at the serene waters. The Tuileries Gardens and the Jardin des Tuileries can be seen in the background, providing a beautiful backdrop to this idyllic moment. A street performer, perhaps playing a musical instrument or singing, adds to the lively atmosphere. The presence of a bird in the sky and the elegant lettering on the side of the boat add to the overall charm and aesthetics of the scene. This image captures the essence of French society and culture during the Third Republic, showcasing the fashionable women and their appreciation for the beauty of Paris. The handcoloured lithograph, with its intricate details and vibrant colours, offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time when the Seine was a popular destination for tourists and Parisians alike. This image is a testament to the enduring allure of Paris and its rich history.
