EDITORS COMMENTS
In this handcoloured lithograph from the 19th century, we are transported back in time to the Palais Royal in Paris during the early 1800s. The Wooden Gallery, a popular shopping destination for the fashionable elite, is bustling with activity. A woman, elegantly dressed in a ball gown and turban, is seen browsing through the various shops. Her refined attire is a testament to the opulence and sophistication of the Napoleonic era. In the background, a family gazes into a clock shop window, their curiosity piqued by the intricate timepieces displayed within. The signs for umbrella and glove stores add to the vibrant scene, reminding us of the importance of these essential accessories during the unpredictable Parisian weather. The Wooden Gallery was a significant cultural hub during this period, with the Strasbourg Theatre located nearby. The theatre, which opened in 1805, was renowned for its elegant balls and dancing parties, further emphasizing the connection between fashion and the arts in French society. This exquisite lithograph, created by R.V. after an illustration by Francois Courboin for Octave Uzanne's Fashion in Paris, offers a glimpse into the aesthetics and cultural practices of the time. The intricate details, from the woman's fashionable ball gown to the various shop signs, provide a rich and immersive experience for the viewer. This beautiful piece of art serves as a reminder of the enduring allure of Parisian fashion and the captivating culture of the Napoleonic era.
