EDITORS COMMENTS
In this handcoloured lithograph, a fashionable dressmaker takes a leisurely stroll through the Tuileries Garden in Paris, France, in the year 1802. The elegant woman, dressed in the height of Directory style fashion, wears a bonnet adorned with ribbons, a flowing dress, and an apron, adding to her professional attire. She carries a hat box under her arm and bolts of fabric slung over her shoulder, indicating her trade as a dressmaker. The garden's entrance, with its grand archway and the passage du Perron leading to the Palais Royal, creates a stunning backdrop for the scene. A gentleman, dressed in a coat, waistcoat, breeches, and boots, and wearing a cravat, can be seen in the background, admiring the dressmaker as she passes by. The cobblestone pathways, the river terrace, and the beautiful greenery of the Tuileries add to the picturesque setting. The Tuileries Garden was a popular destination for Parisian society during the 18th and 19th centuries, and this image captures the essence of French culture and aesthetics during the Directory period. The lithograph is an illustration by Francois Courboin, taken from Octave Uzanne's Fashion in Paris, published by William Heinemann in London in 1898. This exquisite print showcases the intricate details of the fashionable attire, the elegant setting, and the graceful demeanor of the dressmaker, making it a delightful glimpse into the past.
