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\nWhilst the name of this print suggests it represents the Palais de Justice, which until the French Revolution was the base of the Parlement de Paris, it is a more generalised representation of the courts of justice of Paris. The model wears a feminised version of a formal black and crimson uniform, trimmed with ermine and military braiding and frogging, and a co-ordinating bicorn hat. One sleeve is full and flared in deep crimson lined with ermine, suggesting a judge's robes, with an <i>epitoge</i>, the fur-edged strip of fabric at the shoulder traditionally found on French judical robes.","physicalDescription":"Colour lithograph showing an attractive woman dressed in an elaborate, exaggerated fancy-dress or theatrical costume representing a neighbourhood or institution of Paris.
