| Description |
This plate depicts two women crossing the Pont des Arts, which is also known as the Passerelle des Arts. It was built from 1802 to 1804 and was the first Parisian bridge to be made of iron. It was also the first bridge in Paris to be exclusively reserved for pedestrians. The women wear very high-waisted dresses. Both women wear a large white feather in their hats, symbolic of the white plume of Henri IV's famous battle cry, "Ralliez-vous à mon panache blanc!" and made popular by the 1814 restoration of Louis XVIII on the throne. Restoration also brought back various styles, especially those denoting luxury, from the Ancien Regime. The woman on the left wears an 'old-fashioned' lace collar and the resurgence of luxury materials, such as fur are indicative of feminine styles of the Restoration period. |
