EDITORS COMMENTS
This handcoloured lithograph, titled "The Terrace of the Luxembourg, 1885," transports us back in time to the elegant world of Parisian high society during the late 19th century. The image, created by R.V. after an original illustration by Francois Courboin from Octave Uzanne's Fashion in Paris, showcases a tranquil scene on the terrace of the Luxembourg Gardens. Two fashionable women, dressed in the height of Parisian style, gracefully stroll along the main avenue of the park. The woman on the left wears a lilac gown with a black lace collar and cuffs, accessorized with a pink parasol. Her companion dons a dress with a large bustle in front, accompanied by a pelerine and apron. Both women epitomize the refined elegance and grace that defined French fashion during this period. In the background, the Luxembourg Palace looms majestically, while a horse-drawn carriage makes its way along the park's winding paths. A soldier stands at attention nearby, adding an air of formality and security to the scene. A group of people gather around a fountain, engaging in lively conversation, while others enjoy a leisurely ride on horseback. This stunning illustration offers a glimpse into the esthetics, culture, and social norms of the French Republic during the Third Republic. The intricate details and vibrant colors of the handcoloured lithograph bring the scene to life, allowing us to fully immerse ourselves in the elegance and sophistication of Parisian society during the late 1800s.
