EDITORS COMMENTS
This hand-colored lithograph, titled 'Woman waiting for the Saint-Cloud stage coach, 1817,' showcases the elegance and sophistication of women's fashion during the early Restoration period in Paris. 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, depicts a woman in a luxurious, embroidered dress, complete with a feathered headdress and a parasol. She waits patiently for the arrival of the Saint-Cloud stage coach, her expression a blend of anticipation and serenity. The background of the print is filled with the hustle and bustle of bourbon society. A tisane seller offers drinks to other passengers, adding a touch of exoticism to the scene. The coach itself is a symbol of wealth and status, adorned with fleur-de-lis carpets and heavy curtains. The overall aesthetic of the print is reminiscent of the opulence and grandeur of the French court during the reign of King Louis XVIII. The woman's attire, with its circular skirt and high waistline, is a reflection of the fashion trends of the time. Her spencer jacket, a popular outerwear piece during the Regency era, adds an extra layer of warmth and style. The intricate details of her dress, from the delicate embroidery to the elegant bonnet, speak to the importance of fashion as a form of self-expression and social status in early 19th-century Parisian culture. This beautiful print offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time of luxury, elegance, and refinement. It is a testament to the enduring allure of fashion history and the role it plays in shaping our understanding of the past.
