EDITORS COMMENTS
In this exquisitely hand-colored lithograph, a fashionable couple graces the grand ballroom of Les Invalides in Paris during the Romantic Period, specifically in the year 1834. The elegant gentleman, a dandy in the truest sense, dons a coat with tails, tight pants, and a top hat, embodying the height of fashionable masculinity. His companion, a woman of refined taste, wears a pink dress adorned with a canezou, a low-cut bodice, and a shawl. Her hair is adorned with a feather, and she carries a straw bonnet and parasol, reflecting the latest trends in feminine attire. The setting of the image is the annual military review held at the Esplanade des Invalides, an event that took place in the square every July during the Bourbon Restoration and the July Monarchy. The military parade, featuring French cavalry and infantry, adds an air of grandeur and importance to the social gathering. This stunning image is a testament to the rich cultural and societal esthetics of the time, as depicted in Francois Courboin's illustration for Octave Uzanne's Fashion in Paris, published by William Heinemann in London in 1898. The intricate details and vibrant colors of the lithograph transport us back to a bygone era, allowing us to appreciate the elegance and sophistication of fashion during the 19th century.
