EDITORS COMMENTS
This hand-colored lithograph, created by R.V. after an illustration by Francois Courboin from Octave Uzanne's Fashion in Paris, published in 1898, offers a glimpse into the elegant and fashionable terrace of Café Tortoni in Paris during the year 1847. The terrace, located at 22 Boulevard des Italiens, was a popular gathering place for dandies, intellectuals, and ladies of the demi-monde. The image is filled with the elegance and charm of the 19th century French society. Women, dressed in crinolines, large cashmere shawls, and bonnets, sit at tables or stroll along the terrace, enjoying the ambiance and each other's company. In the foreground, a fashionable woman leans over a fountain, perhaps taking a moment to admire her reflection in the water. The terrace is adorned with lush greenery, adding to the serene and picturesque scene. The Cafe Tortoni, known for its Italian ice cream, was a hub of Parisian culture and aesthetics during the Louis-Napoléon Bonaparte Empire. The fashionable crowd that frequented the café contributed to the lively and vibrant atmosphere, making it a must-visit destination for those seeking a taste of Parisian high society. This beautiful lithograph, with its intricate details and vivid colors, provides a fascinating window into the past, offering a glimpse into the fashion, culture, and social dynamics of Paris during the mid-19th century.
