Racing at the Bois de Boulogne, Paris, 1862

EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating handcoloured lithograph depicting the excitement and elegance of a horse race in the heart of Paris. The image, created by R.V. after an illustration by Francois Courboin from Octave Uzanne's "Fashion in Paris," published by William Heinemann in London in 1898, offers a glimpse into the fashionable society of the late 19th century. The scene unfolds at the Bois de Boulogne, a popular recreational area in Paris, where the city's elite gathered to enjoy horse racing and other leisure activities. In the foreground, a woman in a voluminous crinoline dress and mantelet cape watches the race intently, her bonnet adorned with a ribbon and a delicate veil covering her face. Her attire, a symbol of the opulence and elegance of the time, stands in stark contrast to the raw energy and power of the horses and their riders. In the background, the Comédie-Française New Foyer Theatre can be seen, a cultural institution that played a significant role in French literature and drama. Prosper Chabrol, a renowned French sculptor, is depicted in the upper left corner, his marble statue of Voltaire, a famous French philosopher and writer, serving as a testament to the rich artistic heritage of the era. This exquisite lithograph, with its intricate details and vibrant colours, offers a fascinating glimpse into the fashion, culture, and aesthetics of Paris during the Napoleonic III Empire. It provides a window into the lives of the wealthy and influential members of French society, capturing the essence of an era marked by elegance, refinement, and the pursuit of pleasure.
