EDITORS COMMENTS
The Paris Season - Drawn by Mars: At the Pre-Catalan - Maman plays the Driver," is an enchanting print from the late 19th century, published in "The Graphic: An Illustrated Weekly Newspaper" in 1891. This image, created by the renowned artist Mars, offers a glimpse into the fashionable world of Parisian society during the popular 'Paris Season.' The scene unfolds at the Pre-Catalan, a popular Parisian location where elegantly dressed families and their children would gather for leisurely strolls and social engagements. In the foreground, a mother, affectionately referred to as 'Maman,' plays the role of a jovial driver, skillfully guiding her son and daughter in a charming horse-drawn carriage. The children, dressed in their Sunday best, are engrossed in their play, oblivious to the passing scenery. The mother, dressed in a fashionable outfit, dons a stylish hat, while her son and daughter are dressed in their colorful clothing, reflecting the latest trends of the Parisian fashion scene. The father, who is likely the one taking the photograph, stands nearby, admiring the scene with a proud smile. This delightful print captures the essence of family, motherhood, and the allure of Parisian society during the Paris Season. The intricate details of the clothing, the playful expressions on the children's faces, and the serene atmosphere of the Pre-Catalan create a timeless image that continues to captivate viewers over a century later. The print, with its rich history and intriguing story, is a must-have for collectors of vintage illustrations, fashion history, and those who appreciate the beauty of Parisian life during the late 1800s.
