EDITORS COMMENTS
In this image from the early 19th century, a fashionable man is depicted standing before the entrance to the Passage du Perron at the Palais Royal in Paris. Dressed in the height of fashion during the Napoleonic era, he dons a top hat, a cravat neatly tied around his neck, a coat with elegant lapels, a waistcoat, breeches, and boots. The Passage du Perron, a popular shopping destination, is adorned with various shops and boutiques, making it an ideal location for the latest fashion trends. The Palais Royal, a historic monument in Paris, was a favorite gathering place for the French elite, including the imperial court. Nearby, the Château de Malmaison, the country retreat of Empress Joséphine, added to the allure of the area. The gardens and park of the Palais Royal were a popular destination for strolling and enjoying the company of friends and admirers. This 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 intricate details of the man's attire and the lively atmosphere of the Passage du Perron provide a glimpse into the fashionable society and culture of the time. The 1800s were marked by the Empire style, characterized by clean lines, simplicity, and an emphasis on elegance and refinement. This image offers a fascinating look into the fashion aesthetics of the Napoleonic era, showcasing the sophistication and charm of Parisian life during this period.
