EDITORS COMMENTS
In this handcoloured lithograph from the late 19th century, a fashionable woman in a violet crinoline dress with a voluminous train, velvet mantelet, and a feather bonnet is seen standing near an omnibus station in Paris, France, in the year 1875. The Palais-Royal station is depicted in the background, with men in top hats and overcoats waiting at the stop. The horse-drawn omnibus of the Compagnie générale des omnibus is filled with passengers, ready to embark on their journey. The woman's elegant attire, adorned with ribbons, bows, and ruffles, reflects the fashion trends of the time. Her dress, with its full skirt and tight bodice, was a popular choice for formal occasions. The child in the image, dressed in a simple outfit, gazes up at her mother with admiration. The following year, 1876, Parisian society was abuzz with new forms of entertainment, such as skating rinks, balls, and games. This image serves as a snapshot of a moment in time, capturing the essence of Parisian culture and aesthetics during the French Republic's Third Republic. The illustration, created by Francois Courboin and published in Octave Uzanne's Fashion in Paris, offers a glimpse into the daily life of the Parisian elite. The image is further enhanced by the addition of a bal, or ballroom, scene on the Avenue de l'Observatoire, where musicians play and a couple dances on the balcony. The presence of a bullier, or game, in the foreground, adds to the lively atmosphere of the scene. This handcoloured lithograph is a beautiful representation of the fashion, sports, and entertainment that defined Parisian society in the late 19th century. It is a testament to the enduring allure of Paris and its rich cultural heritage.
