EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "La Politesse d Autrefois" transports us back to the elegance and charm of 18th-century France. The image, a colour lithograph by Ludovico Marchetti, depicts a scene from Le Figaro Illustre in 1888. In this ornate artwork, we witness a meeting between two individuals amidst the bustling streets of Paris. A man dressed in an elaborate uniform stands beside a sedan chair, while a woman elegantly greets him with utmost politeness. The attention to detail in their attire showcases the fashion trends of the time and highlights the importance placed on appearance during this era. The painting also provides insight into the transportation methods used during that period. Sedan chairs were popular means of travel for those who could afford them, offering comfort and convenience through crowded city streets. Through this enchanting piece of art, we are reminded of how manners and etiquette played an integral role in French society at that time. It serves as a testament to the refined culture and sophisticated customs prevalent throughout Europe during this period. As we admire this exquisite print from Bridgeman Images' private collection, it invites us to appreciate not only its aesthetic beauty but also its historical significance. It is truly a window into another world - one where gracefulness and courtesy reigned supreme.
