The Last of the Boulevard Lions
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating hand-colored lithograph depicting the fashionable crowd outside Tortoni's ice cream cafe in Paris during the 1850s. The image, created by R.V. after an illustration by Francois Courboin from Octave Uzanne's "Fashion in Paris," offers a glimpse into the opulent and elegant society of the time. The boulevard, a popular promenade in Paris, is bustling with fashionable individuals, all dressed in the latest trends. In the foreground, a group of dandies, identifiable by their top hats and striped pants, engage in animated conversation. A woman in a fur-lined cape, complete with a muff and wide crinoline with flounces or volants, stands nearby, her bonnet adorned with intricate details. A man in a riding outfit, wearing jodhpurs and boots, adds to the diverse mix of fashionable attire. The corner of the Rue de Richelieu and the East Indian Company's warehouse can be seen in the background, adding to the urban setting of the scene. The 1850s were a period of grandeur and extravagance in French society, with the Second Empire under Napoleon III encouraging the display of wealth and luxury. This lithograph is a testament to the aesthetics and cultural significance of the era, showcasing the fashionable attire and social interactions of the time. The intricate details and vibrant colors of the hand-colored lithograph bring the scene to life, transporting us back to the streets of Paris in the mid-19th century. This fascinating image offers a glimpse into the opulent world of French society during a time of great change and innovation.
