EDITORS COMMENTS
This image captures a woman of fashion and elegance, enjoying an evening out at the renowned Frères Provencaux Restaurant in Paris during the 1850s. The woman, dressed in the height of 19th-century fashion, dons a lilac jacket over a flounced crinoline, a shoulder-length dress adorned with intricate patterns, and a matching shawl. She completes her ensemble with a Bertha collar, a popular neckline of the time, and holds a fan in one hand. The Frères Provencaux, located in the Palais Royal, was a fashionable establishment opened by Marseille brothers Maneille, Simon, and Barthelemy in 1786. The restaurant was famous for its bouillabaisse specialty, a traditional Provençal fish stew, and attracted Parisian high society and foreign visitors alike. In the background, a gentleman in a white tie and coat, wearing glasses and holding a music sheet, adds to the lively atmosphere of the restaurant. The hand-coloured lithograph, created by the renowned French illustrators François Courboin, Octave Uzanne, and their team, beautifully captures the grandeur and sophistication of the era. The image is reminiscent of the Italian Opera, which was a popular cultural pastime during the Louis Napoleon Bonaparte era. The intricate details of the illustration, from the woman's fan to the plates on the table, provide a glimpse into the aesthetics and fashion trends of the time. Overall, this image offers a fascinating glimpse into French society and culture during the 19th century.
