EDITORS COMMENTS
This handcoloured lithograph takes us back to the vibrant and fashionable world of 19th-century Paris. The image showcases a stylish couple enjoying an exhilarating ride on the Russian Mountains rollercoaster, known as Les Montagnes Russes a Belleville, which was built in 1812. The couple's attire reflects the elegance and sophistication of French society during this era. The gentleman is dressed in a tailored suit with a top hat, while his female companion wears an exquisite gown adorned with intricate details and accessories that epitomize the fashion trends of the time. As they soar through the air on this thrilling rollercoaster, their expressions reveal both excitement and delight. This illustration by Francois Courboin captures not only their joy but also provides us with a glimpse into the entertainment and pleasure-seeking culture of early 19th-century France. The lithograph transports us to an age when amusement parks were emerging as popular destinations for leisure activities. It serves as a reminder that even centuries ago, people sought out moments of fun and adventure amidst their daily lives. With its vivid colours and attention to detail, this print from Octave Uzanne's "Fashion in Paris" publication offers us not only an insight into historical fashion but also invites us to imagine ourselves experiencing the thrill of riding one of these early rollercoasters firsthand.
