EDITORS COMMENTS
This image, taken from the renowned French fashion journal "Journal des Dames et des Modes" published in Paris in 1913, showcases a woman in a stylish and elegant outfit, dressed in a green striped linen dress with a pink linen border and fichu. The woman is depicted holding a bird in one hand and a cage in the other, suggesting a scene of hunting or perhaps an orientalist-inspired ballet performance. The intricate detailing of the woman's outfit is further accentuated by the hand-coloured pochoir (stencil) etching technique, which adds depth and texture to the image. The woman's outfit is reminiscent of the Art Deco and Belle Epoque eras, with its clean lines and bold use of color. Her dress, known as a "robe de linon raye, bordee de linon rose, fichu aussi de linon rose," is a classic example of the chic Parisian fashion of the time. The green stripes of the dress are evocative of the tartan and serge fabrics commonly used in hunting outfits, adding an element of sportiness to the ensemble. The woman wears gaiters and carries a shotgun, further emphasizing the hunting theme. The bird in the woman's hand is a rabbit, adding a touch of whimsy and playfulness to the image. The overall effect is one of grace and elegance, as the woman exudes an air of sophistication and style. This image is a testament to the beauty and artistry of the fashion plates of the early 20th century and offers a glimpse into the fashionable world of Paris during the Belle Epoque and Art Deco eras.
