EDITORS COMMENTS
This handcoloured lithograph, created in 1898, offers a glimpse into the fashionable society of Paris in the 19th century through the image of a woman standing in front of the Carrefour Gaillon and the fountain in 1848. The woman, elegantly dressed in a blue bonnet, redingote, and crinoline, is adorned with a cashmere shawl called 'la visite' that features intricate arm holes. In the background, the bustling scene of the carrefour Gaillon comes to life, with men in top hats and tails, horses and their riders, and the elegant fountain at its center. The Carrefour Gaillon was a well-known intersection in Paris, located near the Champ de Mars racetrack, which was a popular destination for the city's elite. The image captures the excitement of the horse races, with the finish line and the post of the thoroughbred in the distance. The lithograph is based on an illustration by Francois Courboin from Octave Uzanne's "Fashion in Paris," published by William Heinemann in London. The woman's attire reflects the fashion trends of the time, with the blue bonnet and redingote being popular choices for women's outerwear. The crinoline, a large hoop skirt, was also a staple of women's fashion, adding volume and elegance to their silhouettes. The men, dressed in their finest tails and top hats, exude an air of sophistication and wealth. The lithograph also highlights the cultural aesthetics of the time, with the focus on fashion, racing, and gambling. The scene is reminiscent of the Empire period, with the influence of Napoleon Bonaparte still present in French society. Overall, this image offers a fascinating glimpse into the fashionable society of Paris in the 19th century, providing a window into the past and the enduring allure of French culture.
