However, their history has very rarely been told over a long period of time, until today, and internationally, taking into account economic, political, sociological, cultural or artistic aspects. This is what this catalog offers, with a multidisciplinary summary and illustrated by illuminating iconography (paintings, prints, photographs, archives) and sometimes unpublished. It thus highlights the diffusion of department stores in a colonial and non-European context, questions the representations of bosses and employees, and in particular the place of women, addresses consumption patterns from the Second Empire to the emergence of e-commerce, and deals with the relationship of department stores with the development of shopping, the art of window display, the diffusion of ready-to-wear, advertising and cinema. These themes are structured through the prism of the history of architecture: buildings designed to dazzle, places of staging and life, department stores shape cities and society, establishing themselves as temples of consumption and emotion.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Antinoë","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53701804687684,"sku":"31362","price":45.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0574\/4043\/6408\/files\/sagamagasins.jpg?v=1731672621","url":"https:\/\/anttopinoe.com\/en-en\/products\/la-saga-des-grands-magasins","provider":"Antinoë","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
