FOREIGNERS TAKING STOCK OF EACH OTHER. - The Lady from Carpentras: How peculiar, but Parisian women are not at all as elegant as one always says. - The Lady from Quimper-Corentin: It's unheard of.... these women of the capital are hardly as elegantly dressed as their reputation has it!. Charivari
Description:
This series depicts the influx of tourists from abroad and the French provinces who came to Paris to visit the Exposition of 1844. It shows how the merchants of Paris very often took advantage of the helplessness and inexperience of these travelers on their first trip to the capital.
