Description

Parisian women.- Uzanne (Octave) La Femme a Paris. Nos Contemporaines, one of 110 copies on japon, 20 plates by Massé after Vidal, duplicated in plain and hand-colour, some hand-colouring to illustrations, prospectus/order form loosely inserted, bookplate, hinge neatly reinforced with paper tape, original wrappers, light creasing and rubbing to extremities and along joints, some patches of retouching to 2 upper corners of upper and lower wrappers, spine broken in places with the odd f. detached, still a lovely copy overall, preserved in custom-made drop-back box, Paris, Ancienne Maison Quantin, 1894; and another by Uzanne, also housed in custom-made box, 4to & 8vo (2)

⁂ A beautifully hand-coloured example of a fin-de-siècle magazine. This copy in unusually good condition in the classic art nouveau style.

An comprehensive view of French women across all sections of society: more typical coverage of the 'modern woman' are present, but illustrations of these women getting dressed in the boudoir, being washed, or taking naps are a more intimate depiction than the classic high class femme Parisienne found in other journals. Even more unusual is the inclusion of women "dans ses difféent milieux, états et conditions" - domestic workers, shopkeepers, women in sport, and even, in the third part, a delineation of different factions of prostitution. An illuminating and inclusive journal for the modern femme a Paris.
