EDITORS COMMENTS
In this image from the 19th century, a fashionable woman in a hunting dress, bonnet, and kerchief leads a horse through the picturesque Parc de Bagatelle in Paris. The year is 1807, and the scene exudes the elegance and charm of the Empire Napoléon era. The neoclassical Château de Bagatelle, a folly built for the Comte d'Artois, later King Charles X, can be seen in the background. The Parc de Bagatelle, located in the Bois de Boulogne, was a popular destination for Parisian high society. The park offered a welcome escape from the hustle and bustle of the city, providing a serene setting for leisurely strolls and horseback rides. The woman's fashionable attire and the presence of the horse suggest that she is partaking in the pastime of "slumming," or visiting the Boulevard du Temple and its nearby theatres and spectacles to observe the riff-raff of Parisian society. The handcoloured lithograph, created by R.V. after an illustration by Francois Courboin, is taken from Octave Uzanne's Fashion in Paris, published by William Heinemann in London in 1898. The image provides a glimpse into the aesthetics and cultural practices of French society during the Napoléonic era, offering a fascinating window into the past. The woman's graceful demeanor and the horse's obedient stance create a sense of tranquility and harmony, making this a truly enchanting image from a bygone era.
