Their subject matter is of beautiful women dressed in fantastical and extraordinary costumes which represent various aspects of Paris. Whilst the outfits are ultra-fashionable in silhouette, they are very exaggerated and were probably not intended to be made up in real-life, but were made to amuse and for decorative purposes. The lithographs were printed by Fattorini et Crespin of Paris.\n\nThis print represents the Paris Bourse, or stock exchange, with its subject dressed as an errand-boy whose role would have been to collect receipts and bills. Her costume is based on a late eighteenth century man's coat and waistcoat, with a skirt substuted for knee breeches, and hanging sleeves with a laurel design replacing the coat-sleeves. She carries a green satchel under one arm and a bunch of bank notes in the other hand, and wears a bicorn hat trimmed with a bunch of wildflowers. Two red and yellow wings are attached to her shoulder, probably an allusion to Mercury, Roman god of commerce and the messenger to the gods.","physicalDescription":"Colour lithograph showing an attractive woman dressed in an elaborate, exaggerated fancy-dress or theatrical costume representing a neighbourhood or institution of Paris.
