Fichier:Un salon de Frascati, Paris, 1800.jpg

This plate depicts a group of people at Frascati's. The man in the foreground is plainly dressed in dark colors while pastels are favored by the women. Frascati's was a cafe in Paris, described by the text as "'A stream of human beauty', as the expression of the period has it, was still to be seen flowing through the galleries of Greek and Roman antiquities, spreading through the porticos, into the saloons, and smaller chambers, pouring and winding along the garden alleys, and disappearing at last into the kiosks where it was lost to sight. The great mirror at the end of the garden reflected, as in a wonderful prismatic vision, the surging crowd of veiled or turbaned heads of ever-changing couples, each whispering and fondly clasped; while farther off seated at tables in the open air, thirsty nymphs called for creams and tutti frutti and all the various iced compounds then so eagerly consumed."
