EDITORS COMMENTS
This handcoloured lithograph depicts a lively scene at the Bal Bullier roller skating rink in Paris, 1876. The elegant avenue de l'Observatoire is filled with young women in fashionable attire, gliding gracefully on their roller skates. In the foreground, a group of girls skillfully maneuver around a dog and a fountain, their ribbon-adorned skates leaving trails of light on the polished floor. In the background, a fashionable woman in a voluminous dress with a train and ribbon bows watches the scene with a serene expression. She wears a tall bonnet, a popular accessory for women during the late 19th century. The band musicians in the balcony play lively tunes, adding to the festive atmosphere. The Bal Bullier, located near the Obelisk of Luxor at Place de la Concorde, was a popular destination for Parisian society during the Third Republic. The roller skating craze had swept through France, and the Bal Bullier became a hub for fashionable young women to enjoy this new pastime. The roller skating rink was a place for socializing, dancing, and strolling, where people could come together to experience the joy and excitement of the moment. This beautiful illustration, created by Francois Courboin and published in Octave Uzanne's Fashion in Paris, captures the essence of French society culture and aesthetics of the late 19th century. The intricate details, from the folds of the dresses to the expressions on the faces of the skaters, transport us back in time to a bygone era.
