EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a fashionable woman at the horse races on the Champ de Mars in 1811. Dressed impeccably, she wears a stylish bonnet and a high-waisted walking dress that accentuates her elegant figure. In her hands, she carries a shawl and a large feather, adding an air of sophistication to her ensemble. In the background, jockeys can be seen on horseback, preparing for the exhilarating race ahead. Meanwhile, a gentleman leans in to whisper something to a mother accompanied by her young daughter. The scene is filled with anticipation and excitement as spectators eagerly await the start of the race. Handcoloured lithograph artistically created by R. V. , based on an illustration by Francois Courboin from Octave Uzanne's book "Fashion in Paris" published in London in 1898. This image offers us insight into French society during the First Empire era under Napoleon's rule. The fashion plate showcases not only clothing trends but also provides glimpses into cultural aesthetics and entertainment preferences of that time period. Horse racing was not only considered sport but also served as popular gambling activity among both men and women. This stunning piece transports us back to early 19th-century France when elegance reigned supreme and horse racing was one of society's most thrilling pastimes.
