EDITORS COMMENTS
In this image from the Belle Époque era, a fashionable man dressed in a suit, bowler hat, and carrying a cane, strolls past the picturesque bouquinistes along the Seine River in Paris, France, in 1913. The bouquinistes are vendors known for selling used and antique books, prints, and other collectibles from their wooden booths lining the riverbanks. The man's attire is an embodiment of the chic and sophisticated style of the time, with a flexible ring adorned with a precious gemstone on his left hand, a cockade in his hat, and an elegant aigrette ornamenting his lapel. His jewelry, reminiscent of the Art Deco movement, adds an air of refinement and sophistication to his appearance. This handcoloured pochoir (stencil) etching is an exquisite reproduction of an original illustration by Bernard Boutet de Monvel, published in Tommaso Antongini's Journal des Dames et des Modes. The plate, featuring the fashionable Parisian man, is a testament to the rich artistic and cultural heritage of the period. The image also carries an orientalist influence, which was popular during the Belle Époque and the early years of the 20th century. The ballet Russes, founded by Sergei Diaghilev in 1909, had a significant impact on the fashion scene, bringing Eastern influences to Western Europe through their innovative productions and costumes. This photograph offers a glimpse into the fashionable world of Paris in 1913, a time of artistic and cultural flourishing, and serves as a reminder of the enduring allure of the City of Light.
