EDITORS COMMENTS
This handcoloured lithograph, created by R.V. after an illustration by Francois Courboin from Octave Uzanne's Fashion in Paris, published in 1898 by William Heinemann in London, transports us back to the fashionable world of the early 19th century. The image depicts a woman of elegance and refinement, dressed in the height of fashion during the Napoleanic Era. She dons a high-waisted walking dress, accessorized with a bonnet adorned with a large feather, a shawl, and carries an air of sophistication. The scene unfolds on the Champ de Mars, a vast open space in Paris, where the excitement of horse racing takes place. In the background, jockeys on horseback can be seen in the midst of the race, their determination etched on their faces as they strive for victory. A gentleman, dressed in a military uniform, whispers an eager tip to a mother and her young girl, their eyes fixed on the race. The tranquil beauty of the scene is juxtaposed with the frosty winter landscape of La Villette, as depicted in another plate from the same publication, dated 1813. In stark contrast to the horse races, the frozen lake Bassin de la Villette is transformed into an ice-skating rink, where soldiers from the Imperial Guard, including Polish Lancers, clad in their distinctive czapka caps and uniforms, glide effortlessly on their skates. This evocative image encapsulates the essence of French society during the Empire period, showcasing the intersection of fashion, culture, and entertainment. The intricate details of the illustration, from the woman's bonnet to the jockeys' uniforms, serve as a testament to the meticulous aesthetics of the time. This print invites us to delve deeper into the rich history of the 19th century, offering a glimpse into the world of the fashionable elite and their pursuit of pleasure and leisure.
