EDITORS COMMENTS
In this handcoloured lithograph from the 1890s, a fashionable woman is depicted taking a leisurely stroll through the Palais Royal in Paris during the early 19th century. Dressed in the height of Empire fashion, she wears a voluminous dress with a high waistline and a full, flowing skirt. Her bonnet, adorned with ribbons and a delicate bow, sits atop her curled and powdered hair. The woman's elegant attire is in stark contrast to the bustling activity around her. Milliners and shopworkers can be seen through the windows of the nearby shops, arranging hats and fabrics on display. The terrace of the Palais Royal, with its ornate columns and intricate ironwork, serves as the perfect backdrop for her promenade. In the distance, the Tuileries Garden and the River Seine can be glimpsed, adding to the picturesque scene. The Palais Royal, a former royal palace, was a popular destination for Parisian society during this time, and the woman's fashionable appearance reflects the cultural and aesthetic values of the Napoleonic era. This beautiful 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 woman's dress, the textures of the fabrics, and the vibrant colors of the handcolouring make this a truly stunning work of art that transports us back in time to the fashionable world of 1800.
