EDITORS COMMENTS
This handcoloured lithograph captures a moment of leisure and elegance in 19th century Paris. The scene depicts a frozen Bassin de la Villette, transformed into an icy playground for skaters. Among them is a soldier, proudly adorned in the uniform of the Polish lancers of the Imperial Guard, complete with his distinctive czapka headdress. The juxtaposition of military attire against the backdrop of leisurely ice skating creates a fascinating contrast. It speaks to the multifaceted nature of French society during this time, where even soldiers found moments to indulge in recreational activities. The artist, Francois Courboin, skillfully brings this scene to life with vibrant colors and intricate details. His illustration was originally featured in Octave Uzanne's "Fashion in Paris" published in London in 1898. This print serves as both an aesthetic representation and historical documentation of fashion trends and cultural practices during the Napoleonic era. As we gaze upon this image from over two centuries ago, we are transported back to a time when ice skating was not only a sport but also an expression of style and sophistication. It reminds us that throughout history, people have sought moments of joy and beauty amidst their everyday lives – just like these lancers and gentlemen gliding gracefully across the frozen reservoir at La Villette.
