EDITORS COMMENTS
This image, taken in Paris in 1849, depicts a woman in full regalia of the time, standing in front of the famed Chinese Baths on the Boulevard des Capucines. The woman, dressed in a voluminous crinoline skirt, a lilac jacket with flounces, and a shawl and bonnet to match, exudes the elegance and refinement of French society during the mid-19th century. The Chinese Baths, also known as Les Bains Chinois, were a popular attraction in Paris, having been built in 1787 by Samson-Nicolas Lenoir. The complex consisted of 60 luxury bath cabins, a restaurant, a café, and boutiques, offering a unique and exotic experience for the city's elite. The name "Chinese Baths" was a reference to the Asian-inspired architecture and decor of the buildings. The woman in the photograph appears to be admiring the ornate facade of the baths, perhaps considering an afternoon of relaxation and indulgence. In the background, we can see the Frères Provencaux restaurant and the Palais Royal, adding to the bustling urban scene of Paris during this period. This handcoloured lithograph, created by R.V. after an illustration by Francois Courboin, is taken from Octave Uzanne's Fashion in Paris, published by William Heinemann in London in 1898. The intricate details of the woman's outfit and the vibrant colors of the image make it a stunning representation of the fashion and aesthetics of the time. The image also offers a glimpse into the cultural and social norms of French society during the Louis Napoléon Bonaparte Empire, making it an invaluable historical document.
