Book spotted in a bookstore!
Last week a German journalist contacted me after finding my book at MoMA, so I of course had to go see it there for myself! ❤️ My first time seeing it in a bookstore! Very exciting. 😍
Anyone who goes to see the Sargent show at the Musée d’Orsay in Paris, please snap a pic of my book in that shop. 🙏

1/Given everything it has seemed frivolous to post about my forthcoming book, but I’ve learned it’s being printed this week and so to celebrate I thought I’d post a #19thc carte de visite that just arrived yesterday too. It’s of the lovely Sophie Croizette, a great rival of Sarah Bernhardt...

1/Very happy with my cute new carte de visite album. Also the new postcard of Jeanne Demarsy (the model for Manet’s Jeanne). Here she’s playing a harem role in “Mon Oncle Barbassou,” an 1891 Gymnase production. I discovered a lot about Demarsy’s career as an actress and cocotte,

Oh the pain of realizing you should have written more about a painting you only mention in passing in your proofs. Jeanne de Tourbey I am so sorry I left your story out (though my editor is doubtless pleased as this chapter is already 68 pages 😅).

Going to be a bit quieter over the next two weeks as I have final page proofs to review (and an index to assemble!). Keeping two of the women in the book close as inspiration. ❤️ Wish me luck!

Can’t resist sharing this other recent find on eBay. Another shot of Alice Regnault by Gaston, Mathieu & Cie this time in costume as Julia, a Horse Guard in "Le Trône d'Ecosse,” which debuted at the Théâtre des Variétés on Nov. 17, 1871.

Exciting update, the photo of Alice Regnault (born Augustine-Alexandrine Toulet) is by Gaston, Mathieu & Cie. There's an alternate crop in the Paris Musées collection.

I’m going to start sharing images of some of the women discussed in the book. These images won’t necessarily be the ones in the book, though some of them will be. Here’s a photograph of Alice Regnault, an actress at the Théâtre du Gymnase whom I discuss, which I just bought off eBay.

There is a hint of the reptilian to this mid #1870s dress. The angled pleating and position of the decorative buttons lends it an air of a watchful crocodile in shaded greens, the tongue of pale train skirting its hem, Mme Depret Paris @metcostume.bsky.social

Looking at a rich array of visual sources, from portraits to modern-life paintings, photographs to fashion plates, the book reveals how women were seen, how they aspired to be seen, and how they navigated public life in nineteenth-century Paris.

The book explores how modern women and modern artists in Paris (1855-1885) crafted their public images, manipulating expectations surrounding five fashionable types—the mistress, the young widow, the equestrienne, the shopgirl, and the Parisienne—to exploit and resist stereotypes.
