EDITORS COMMENTS
This handcoloured engraving from Pierre de la Mesanger's Le Bon Genre captures a whimsical moment in Parisian society in 1817. Two incredible fops, armed with cudgels, playfully hinder the promenade of two elegant ladies by pinning the tails of their dresses. One of the ladies looks back coquettishly at the ridiculous dandy, adding a touch of flirtatiousness to the scene. The extravagant outfits and accessories worn by all four figures reflect the opulence and fashion trends of the time, including parasols, fans, and elaborate hairstyles. The intricate details in this engraving showcase not only the artistic skill of the illustrator but also provide a glimpse into the social norms and customs of early 19th-century France. Despite being a caricature, this scene captures a lighthearted encounter between members of high society, highlighting both their sense of humor and their penchant for extravagance. The laughter shared between these characters adds an element of joy to what could have been perceived as a mischievous act. Overall, this print is not only visually stunning but also serves as a fascinating historical document that offers insight into French culture during this period. It is truly a delightful piece that brings to life an era filled with charm and elegance.
