VISUAL DESCRIPTION
This is an illustration of a romantic scene set in the early 20th century, featured on the cover of "La Vie Parisienne" magazine dated Saturday, June 15, 1929. The artwork captures a moment between a man and woman as they lean towards each other for a kiss while seated on opposite ends of a small boat. The woman, dressed in a red flapper-style dress indicative of the era's fashion trends, gazes affectionately at the man who is wearing rolled-up sleeves and suspenders. They are surrounded by lush greenery that frames their intimate encounter. Below them in the water, several fish can be seen swimming about playfully. The text at the bottom humorously suggests that despite being out presumably to catch fish ("LE CHŒUR DES POISSONS: - ÇA MORD!"), this couple will return empty-handed tonight ("ILS NE RENTRERONT PAS BREDÉOUILLE CE SOIR"). This image evokes themes of love, leisure time during La Belle Époque/interwar period in France, and carries with it an air of playful romance associated with Parisian culture.
