EDITORS COMMENTS
This handcoloured lithograph, titled "Coming back from a morning in the Bois de Boulogne, 1890," showcases the elegant sophistication of Parisian society during the late 19th century. The fashionable woman at the center of the image returns from her leisurely stroll through the Bois de Boulogne, a popular park in Paris known for its scenic beauty and tranquility. Dressed in a stylish jacket and skirt, she wears a fashionable hat adorned with a ribbon and carries a parasol to shield herself from the sun. Accompanied by her dogs, she walks along the Avenue Foch, her graceful gait drawing the attention of passersby. In the background, the iconic Arc de Triomphe stands proudly, a symbol of the French Republic and the Third Republic era. The woman's attire reflects the fashion trends of the time, with a top hat, monocle, white tie, and a fur-lined cape adding to her chic appearance. This image, taken from Octave Uzanne's "Fashion in Paris," published by William Heinemann in London in 1898, offers a glimpse into the aesthetics and culture of French society during this period. The intricate details of the handcoloured lithograph, created by R.V. after an illustration by Francois Courboin, transport us back in time and invite us to appreciate the elegance and refinement of the Belle Époque era.
