EDITORS COMMENTS
Cavalcade at Longchamp Racetrack: A Satirical Take on Fashion and Entertainment in the Napoleonic Era This intriguing handcoloured engraving, titled "Cavalcade de Longchamp," offers a humorous and insightful glimpse into the fashionable world of the Napoleonic Regency period. The image, created by Pierre de la Mesangere for his publication "Le Bon Genre" in Paris in 1817, depicts two 'incroyables' or 'fops' engaging in an unusual horse race at Longchamp racetrack. Instead of the sleek and powerful thoroughbreds typically seen on the racetrack, these fashionable gentlemen are mounted on heavy dray horses. The incroyables, known for their extravagant and androgynous style, are dressed in the height of Regency fashion. One rider wears a short jacket, a gilet, and a cravat, while the other dons a long coat, breeches, and boots. Both are adorned with fashionable hats, adding to their flamboyant appearance. The horses, too, are dressed in elaborate trappings, complete with plumed hats and ribbons. The scene is filled with a lively energy, as the crowd cheers and claps, seemingly unfazed by the unusual sight before them. The satirical tone of the engraving is evident in the exaggerated expressions of the riders and the caricatured depiction of the onlookers. This image provides a unique perspective on the fashionable lifestyle of the Napoleonic era, highlighting the importance of entertainment and the often-extravagant nature of Regency society. The use of handcolouring adds depth and vibrancy to the print, making it a visually striking and engaging piece of historical art.
