EDITORS COMMENTS
This handcoloured lithograph, created by R.V. after an illustration by Francois Courboin from Octave Uzanne's "Fashion in Paris," published in 1898, transports us back to the Champ de Mars races in 1848. The image showcases the excitement and elegance of Parisian society during this period, as a woman in a blue redingote over a crinoline dress and a shawl around her shoulders watches intently from the stands. The men in top hats and tails, their faces filled with anticipation, mirror her enthusiasm. The Champ de Mars racetrack, located in the heart of Paris, was a popular destination for the city's elite during the 19th century. The nearby Chinese Baths, Boulevard des Capucines, and Les Bains Chinois, visible in the background, offered a luxurious escape from the bustling city life. The stand, with its ornate decorations and cabins, provided a perfect vantage point for spectators to enjoy the races, as well as indulge in the offerings of the nearby restaurant, café, and boutiques. The fashionable woman in the lithograph embodies the opulence and sophistication of the French Empire, with her elegant crinoline dress and bonnet adorned with a bow. The intricate details of her attire, from the folds of her shawl to the ribbons on her bonnet, are a testament to the meticulous craftsmanship of the time. This image, with its rich history and stunning visual detail, offers a glimpse into the luxurious world of Parisian society during the 1840s, a time of grandeur and elegance that continues to captivate our imagination.
