Parisiennes relaxing at Montmorency, a suburb of Paris

Parisiennes relaxing at Montmorency, a suburb of Paris. A woman sits in a swing beneath a tree, while another picks cherries. A demi-elegante, even undressed in neglige, wears an embroidered dress and hat with feathers. A real elegant of the bon ton, wears a dress and straw hat or simple cornet. But everything, in its arrangment, is of the greatest freshness. Handcoloured engraving from Pierre de la Mesangere's Le Bon Genre, Paris, 1817.
