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 Latin Quarter, where many of Paris's educational establishments are located. Its subject is dressed as a male student of about 1830, probably a medical student as she is carrying a large syringe behind her back. She holds a large book under her arm. These lithographs would have been considered quite titilliating at the time they were printed, as the form-fitting costumes are designed to expose or clearly outline the women's ankles and lower legs, at that time considered shocking. In addition to this, the concept of a woman wearing masculine clothing, particularly trousers, offered an additional frission to the observer.","physicalDescription":"Colour lithograph showing an attractive woman dressed in an elaborate, exaggerated fancy-dress or theatrical costume representing a neighbourhood or institution of Paris.
