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, transports us back to the early 19th century and the Russian Mountains, Les Montagnes Russes, in Paris. The image showcases a fashionable couple, dressed in the height of Directory and Directoire fashion, enjoying the thrill of the first switchback rollercoaster, which was built in 1812, marking a significant milestone in the history of amusement parks. The woman, adorned in a voluminous, medieval-inspired headdress, a fancy dress, and a mask, embodies the spirit of the masquerade ball that was popular during this era. Her mask, intricately designed with feathers and jewels, adds an air of mystery and allure to her appearance. The man, dressed in a hussar uniform with a hood and mask, completes the ensemble, his striped breeches and bicorn hat adding to the overall aesthetic of the scene. The Russian Mountains, also known as Monts Russes, was a popular attraction in Parisian society during the 18th and 19th centuries. This lithograph provides a glimpse into the esthetics and cultural practices of the time, offering a fascinating insight into French society and its love for theatre and grandeur. The image is a beautiful testament to the enduring allure of amusement parks and the joy they bring to people, a tradition that continues to this day.
