EDITORS COMMENTS
This handcoloured lithograph, titled "Children in the Tuileries Gardens, 1859," offers a delightful glimpse into the fashionable society and picturesque landscapes of Paris during the late 19th century. The image, created by R.V. after an original illustration by Francois Courboin from Octave Uzanne's "Fashion in Paris," transports us to the scenic Tuileries Gardens, where a woman in an elegant crinoline dress and manteau imperatrice (hooded fur cape) and muff strolls with her children. The children, dressed in bloomers or pantalettes with hoops, frolic and play nearby, their bonnets adorned with ribbons and flowers. In the background, various scenes unfold: a theatre performance at the Théâtre du Vaudeville, the Boulevard Saint-Martin teeming with vendors selling tisanes and other wares, and soldiers in check trousers and jackets standing guard. This enchanting tableau encapsulates the aesthetics of the French Empire under Napoleon III, with its opulent fashion, vibrant social life, and rich cultural heritage. The intricate details and vibrant colours of the handcoloured lithograph further bring the scene to life, making it an invaluable document of Parisian society during this period.
