EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Riquet a la Houppe - advertising vignette du Bon Marche, circa 1900" takes us back to the enchanting world of early 20th-century France. The image showcases a young girl immersed in a moment of love and literature within the bustling walls of the iconic department store, Bon Marche. In this scene, we witness an unexpected encounter between two individuals who seem worlds apart. The girl, with her innocent gaze and tender smile, finds herself captivated by a man known as Riquet a la Houppe. As she reads from an enticing book, his presence becomes more than just fictional; it becomes real. The allure lies not only in their connection but also in the setting itself. Bon Marche's reputation for offering affordable goods is cleverly intertwined with this tale of seduction and romance. It reminds us that even amidst everyday life and mundane tasks like shopping, extraordinary encounters can unfold. With its vibrant chromolithography chromo technique, this print beautifully captures the essence of French folklore while showcasing Leonard de Selva's artistic prowess. It transports viewers to another time when declarations of love were whispered among towering shelves filled with books and dreams. As we admire this piece from Bibliotheque des Arts Decoratifs in Paris, let us appreciate how art has the power to immortalize fleeting moments and transport us into realms where imagination intertwines with reality.
