EDITORS COMMENTS
This handcoloured lithograph, created by R.V. after an illustration by Francois Courboin from Octave Uzanne's Fashion in Paris, offers a glimpse into the opulent world of the early Restoration court in Paris during the reign of King Louis XVIII, around 1817. The image transports us back in time to an era of grandeur and elegance, where fashionable women donned extravagant court dresses adorned with intricate embroidery and ornate feather headdresses. The interior setting of the scene is equally impressive, with blue velvet curtains framing the space and a fleur-de-lis carpet adding to the regal atmosphere. The women in the photograph exude drama and sophistication, their outfits a testament to the lesser theatres and the cultural esthetics of the time. The women's attire includes voluminous, frilled dresses, lace bonnets, and ruffs, all accessorized with collars and shawls. The children in the crowd, dressed in their finest, add an element of innocence and charm to the scene. The overall effect is one of a grand and dramatic show, a spectacle of fashion and culture that was a hallmark of the Bourbon French society during the 19th century. This beautiful image, taken from Mary Evans Prints Online, is a valuable historical record of a bygone era and a reminder of the enduring allure of fashion and the role it plays in reflecting the social and cultural mores of a particular time and place.
