EDITORS COMMENTS
This enchanting photograph captures the young and radiant Infant Fernand d'Espagne at the Thousand and One Nights Persian ball held in Paris, May 1912. The exotic event, inspired by the famous Middle Eastern folktales, was a grand spectacle of opulence and cultural fusion. Infant Fernand d'Espagne, whose real name was Fernand Leger, is seen here dressed in an elaborate Egyptian-inspired costume, complete with a headdress adorned with gold and precious stones, a flowing tunic, and intricately designed trousers. The 1910s were a time of great fascination with the Orient, and such events allowed attendees to indulge in the allure of the mysterious and exotic lands. The Thousand and One Nights Persian ball was no exception, transporting its guests to a world of enchantment and wonder. Fernand d'Espagne's captivating presence and striking costume make this a truly historical and fascinating image from the annals of the 1910s, offering a glimpse into the rich cultural tapestry of the time.
