EDITORS COMMENTS
This hand-coloured engraving by Thomas Rowlandson captures the vibrant atmosphere of La Belle Liminaudiere au Caffee de Mille Collone, a popular café in Palais Royal, Paris. Created in 1814, this artwork showcases an interior scene filled with female diners indulging in their guilty pleasures. The image depicts a group of elegantly dressed ladies seated around a table adorned with lavish decorations. Their eyes are fixed on a woman sitting on a raised seat at the center, who is none other than Madame Romain - known as the Vice Roy of India. She exudes confidence and beauty, captivating the attention of all those present. Rowlandson's caricature style adds humor to the scene as he exaggerates certain features like plumpness or thinness to create amusing visual contrasts. The women depicted here represent different fashion trends and body types prevalent during that era - from voluptuous to slender figures. The Café des Milles Colonnes itself becomes an integral part of this composition, with its iconic thousand columns serving as an elegant backdrop for these fashionable Parisian ladies. It was indeed a place where admirers would gather to witness such spectacles and indulge in gossip and ogling. This print offers us a glimpse into French society's fascination with feminine fashions and social dynamics during the early 19th century. It serves as both entertainment and commentary on societal norms surrounding beauty and femininity at that time.
