VISUAL DESCRIPTION
In this whimsical illustration from "La Vie Parisienne," dated November 9, 1919, we see a playful interaction between elegance and the unexpected. A chic woman in a striking red ensemble with lace details sits precariously atop a fence, dangling her pearls before an intrigued pig. The caption "Les Perles au Cochon" suggests the proverbial casting of pearls before swine—a metaphor for offering something valuable to one who cannot appreciate it. The scene is set against a pastoral backdrop that contrasts with the woman's fashionable appearance, creating a humorous juxtaposition.
