EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning photograph print captures the elegance and opulence of early 20th century fashion, showcasing a woman dressed in an intricately embroidered blue duvetyn twill sheath dress with otter fur trim and a matching muff. The dress, known as a robe de duvetin bleu vitrail brodee au point lance, was a popular trend during the Belle Epoque and Art Deco periods. The duvetyn fabric, which resembles stained glass, was often used for formal wear and was highly sought after for its luxurious texture and rich color. The woman in the photograph wears her hair styled in soft waves, adorned with pearls and a feathered headpiece. She holds a mantelet, a type of cape, made of old taffeta, which is also trimmed with otter fur. The green muff, or manchon, is a matching accessory that adds to the overall extravagance of the ensemble. The embroidery on the dress is intricately detailed, with lance stitching and pearls adding to the orientalist-inspired design. The parrot perched on a stand adds a playful touch to the sophisticated look. The photograph is a handcoloured pochoir (stencil) etching after an illustration by H. Honore from Tommaso Antongini's Journal des Dames et des Modes, published in Paris in 1913. The image exudes the chic Parisian style of the time, reminiscent of the costumes worn by dancers in the Ballets Russes. This photograph is a beautiful example of the fashion trends and artistic influences of the era.
