EDITORS COMMENTS
This handcoloured lithograph captures a fashionable couple "slumming it" on the bustling Boulevard du Temple in Paris, during the year 1808. In the background, one can observe crowds of people milling around in front of the numerous small theatres that line the street, known as the Boulevard des Petits Spectacles. The lithograph, created by R. V. after an illustration by Francois Courboin, was featured in Octave Uzanne's renowned book "Fashion in Paris" published in London in 1898. It offers a glimpse into French society and culture during the Napoleonic era. The image showcases not only fashion but also provides insight into social dynamics and aesthetics of that time period. The couple's presence amidst what was considered lower-class entertainment establishments suggests they are seeking novelty or perhaps indulging their curiosity about popular culture beyond their usual refined circles. As they promenade along this vibrant boulevard, their stylish attire stands out against a backdrop of ordinary citizens enjoying various forms of entertainment. This contrast highlights both societal divisions and changing attitudes towards leisure activities. With its rich colors and intricate details, this handcoloured lithograph transports us back to early 19th-century Paris—a time when fashion played a significant role in defining one's status while simultaneously reflecting broader cultural shifts within European society.
