EDITORS COMMENTS
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 glimpse into the elegant world of Parisian high society during the late 19th century. The main avenue in Parc Monceau, 1886, is depicted as a bustling scene of fashionable people enjoying the picturesque gardens. At the heart of the image is a woman in a fashionable dress with a lace pelerin and apron, accessorized with a parasol and a bouquet. She strolls along the promenade, her graceful silhouette contrasting with the grandeur of the horses and carriages that line the avenue. The horses from the Marly stables add to the scene's opulence, while the statues and ornate fountains scattered throughout the park add an air of refinement. The fashionable attire of the Parisian elite is on full display, with women wearing extravagant hats and voluminous dresses with bustles, while men don top hats and tailcoats. The Champs-Élysées Avenue, a symbol of Parisian grandeur, can be seen in the background, further emphasizing the wealth and sophistication of the scene. This image, a testament to the aesthetics and cultural significance of French society during the Republic of the Third Republic, provides a fascinating look into the fashion, art, and social norms of the time. The intricate details and vibrant colors of the handcoloured lithograph bring the scene to life, transporting us back to a bygone era of elegance and refinement.
