Montagnes Russes dans la Salle de l'Odeon, 1817 (hand coloured etching on paper)
Artist: Pierre Joseph Antoine de la Mésangère (1761-1830)
This was originally published by Pierre Joseph Antoine de la Mésangère (1761-1830), better known by the name of Le Mésangère, as plate number 101 in Le Bon Genre, his first edition of hand-coloured engravings showing French life and fashion, published in 1817. It depicts a masked ball in the Salle de l'Odéon, Paris, in front of the roller coaster or helter skelter. The women are dressed in Swiss outfits and sport beards, two of them consorting with a fashionably-dressed gentleman, while figures dressed as Commedia dell'Arte characters including Polichinelle or Mr. Punch, Harlequin, and Clown are seen on the roller coaster. The idea of a roller coaster began in St. Petersburg, Russia, in the 18th century; the snow-covered constructions were built in Russia for sledding but these examples used cars running on rails. By the early 19th century they had spread to European capitals and in 1812 a Company called Les Montagnes Russes constructed some in the Belleville district of Paris.
