EDITORS COMMENTS
This handcoloured lithograph captures a fashionable couple driving in a one-horse whiskey carriage or gig in Longchamps, Paris during the Year V of the French Revolution, 1797. The woman is adorned with a bonnet and wears a spencer jacket over her low-cut dress, exuding elegance and style. This image was created by R. V. , based on an illustration by Francois Courboin from Octave Uzannes' book "Fashion in Paris" published in 1898. The scene showcases the fashion trends of the late 18th century Directory period, highlighting the classical robe worn by the woman and emphasizing her status as a merveilleuse (fashionable lady). The couple's mode of transportation reflects their social standing within French society at that time. Longchamps, known for its promenades and horse racing events, provides an idyllic backdrop for this stylish duo. The woman confidently holds onto the reins while driving the carriage herself—a testament to her independence and progressive nature. This print offers us a glimpse into both French culture and aesthetics during this transitional period between centuries. Its vibrant colors bring life to an era marked by political change and evolving fashion trends. As we admire this artwork, we are transported back to 19th-century France—where sophistication meets revolution—and reminded of how fashion has always been intertwined with history.
