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 by William Heinemann in London, offers a glimpse into the fashionable world of Parisian society during the Bourbon Restoration in 1827. The image depicts a woman in elegant attire, standing outside the Theatre du Gymnase (previously known as the Theatre de Madame) on Rue de Richelieu. Dressed in a high-waisted, puff-sleeve gown, the woman wears a large bonnet adorned with ribbons and an en beret, as well as a lace collar and bib, and a cape or pelerine. She holds a shawl, adding an extra layer of warmth and sophistication to her outfit. The theatre, a popular venue for comedies during the French monarchy's Bourbon Restoration, is seen in the background, with a gentleman, soldier, and guardsman visible near the entrance. The Theatre du Gymnase, which opened in 1783, was a significant cultural institution during the 19th century. This fashion plate, with its intricate details and stunning colours, not only showcases the woman's stylish appearance but also highlights the importance of theatre and French society during this period. The image offers a unique insight into the aesthetics and cultural norms of the time, making it an essential addition to any collection focused on 19th-century fashion or French history.
