A Sentimental Walk in the Abbey of Longchamps, 1836
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating handcoloured lithograph that transports us back to the romantic and elegant era of the 19th century. The image, created by R.V. after an illustration by Francois Courboin from Octave Uzanne's "Fashion in Paris," published by William Heinemann in London in 1898, offers a glimpse into the fashionable world of French society during the Bourbon Restoration and the July Monarchy. The scene is set in the picturesque Abbey of Longchamps, located in the Palais-Royal Gardens in Paris. The serene and idyllic setting is adorned with tall trees and lush greenery, providing a perfect backdrop for a romantic stroll. The couple in the foreground, dressed in the height of fashion for the time, add to the sentimental atmosphere. The woman, elegantly dressed in a wide-skirted gown with a fur trim, wears a pardessus, or a light overdress, adorned with intricate details. Her outfit is completed with a bonnet, or beret, that adds a touch of sophistication to her look. The man, dressed in a paletot, or coat, and pants, dons a top hat, which was a must-have accessory for men during this period. The couple's leisurely walk through the gardens reflects the cultural esthetics of the time, where sentimentalism and romanticism were highly valued. The image captures the essence of the French bourgeoisie's appreciation for beauty, art, and nature. The fashionable attire of the couple, set against the backdrop of the Abbey of Longchamps, highlights the grandeur and opulence of the era. This beautiful lithograph is a testament to the rich history and cultural significance of the 19th century, offering a glimpse into the fashionable world of French society during a time of political and social change. The sentimental walk in the Abbey of Longchamps, 1836, remains a captivating and timeless image that continues to inspire and delight.
