Palace gallery, Abraham Bosse, 1637 - 1638 print Three shops in the 'Galerie du Palais' on the Ile de la Cité of Paris. On the left the bookstore, in the middle the store where fans, gloves and other accessories are sold; On the right the lingerie shop where, among other things, lace collars and cuffs are displayed. With caption which shows that the customers do not belong to the nobility, but to the well -to -do bourgeoisie, who wants to mirror themselves in clothing and customs. Possible source of inspiration for this performance was the play of Corneille 'La Galerie du Palais' (first executed in 1633). The piece opens with the same stores as those on the print. Bosse advertises his own work in the shops: in the middle a box is removed from the shelf that says 'Evantails de Bosse' (fans of Bosse); In the bookstore a book is shown with the title 'Marianne', a play by Tristan L'Hermite (1635) in which the title page is by Bosse. paper etching / engraving clothes, costume (+ men's clothes). clothes, costume (+ women's clothes). accessories (~ clothing). neck-gear: collar (+ men's clothes). neck-gear: collar (+ women's clothes). head-gear: hat (+ men's clothes). gloves, mittens, etc. (+ men's clothes). gloves, mittens, etc. (+ women's clothes). table-cloth. shop, store. book-shop, bookseller Courthouse
