EDITORS COMMENTS
UN POISSON DAVRIL (A Lady and Her Fish, April 1st, 1918) This image, titled "Un Poisson Davril" or "A Lady and Her Fish," dates back to April 1st, 1918. The photograph, which depicts a woman playfully holding a large fish, is a charming representation of the whimsical and lighthearted spirit of the early 20th century. The lady in the photograph, dressed in an elegant and fashionable outfit of the time, exudes an air of sophistication and grace as she cradles the fish in her arms. Her expression suggests a sense of amusement and delight, as if she has just successfully caught the fish herself. The fish, with its vibrant scales and open mouth, appears to be as surprised as the lady, adding to the overall playful and humorous atmosphere of the scene. The title "Un Poisson Davril" is a reference to a popular French prank or joke called "Poisson d'Avril," which translates to "April Fish." This tradition involves attaching a paper fish to someone's back and telling them they have been "caught" like a fish. It is believed that this photograph was taken on April Fool's Day, 1918, and the title serves as a nod to this tradition. Despite its lighthearted nature, this photograph also serves as a reminder of the connection between people and nature, and the simple joys that can be found in the everyday experiences of life. The image is a beautiful and timeless representation of the human spirit, and a testament to the enduring appeal of a good joke or prank.
