The image, taken from Pierre de la Mesangère's Le Bon Genre, published in Paris in 1817, depicts an exhilarating masquerade ball held in the pleasure gardens of Salle de l'Odeon. The rollercoaster, a novelty attraction of the time, serves as the backdrop for this enchanting scene. Ladies and gentlemen, dressed in the height of fashion, ride the rollercoaster while wearing elaborate masquerade masks, adding an air of mystery and intrigue to the already thrilling experience. The women, in particular, are seen donning the Swiss Bernese style, characterized by their wide-brimmed bonnets, aprons, and lace, while the men wear cravats and other fashionable attire. The presence of Pierrot and a clown among the revelers adds a touch of merriment and playfulness to the event. The masquerade ball, a popular tradition during this era, allowed individuals to let go of their inhibitions and social norms, making for an unforgettable night of entertainment. This enchanting image provides a unique window into the past, showcasing the fusion of fashion, fun, and the thrill of the unknown that defined the masquerade balls of the early 19th century. The rollercoaster, a symbol of excitement and adventure, serves as the perfect setting for this unforgettable night, leaving us to wonder what other surprises and delights awaited those who attended such events.
