Benjamin Causing Created Dressed Dust Finely Gentleman Illustrations Immersed Issue Lalbum Maitres Pair Plume Rabier Roaring Tumble 1901 January

EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating illustration from the January 1901 issue of "Les Maitres de la Caricature," a renowned French satirical magazine. This image is the second part of a pair, with the first one depicting a similar scene but from a different perspective. The illustration showcases a finely dressed lady and a gentleman, both caught off guard by a sudden and powerful burst of dust created by a motor vehicle roaring down the road. The lady, with an elegant hat and a fashionable gown, is shown in the midst of the plume of dust, her eyes wide with surprise and a slight expression of fear. Her companion, a gentleman in a top hat and a tailcoat, is seen tumbling out of the way, trying to avoid the oncoming cloud of dirt and debris. The motor vehicle, a symbol of modernity and progress, is depicted as a force to be reckoned with, capable of disrupting the tranquility of the scene in an instant. The illustration, created by Benjamin Rabier, is a testament to the impact of the automobile on society at the turn of the 20th century. The image captures the excitement and the fear that came with the advent of this new technology, as well as the contrast between the old and the new ways of transportation. The pair of illustrations, "Le Voeu Exauce Part 1" and "Le Voeu Exauce Part 2," offer a humorous and insightful commentary on the changing world and the challenges it presented. The illustration is part of the March of the Women Collection from Mary Evans Prints Online, a vast archive of historical images that offers a glimpse into the past and sheds light on the social, political, and cultural developments of different eras. This image, with its timeless appeal and its commentary on the intersection of technology and society, is a must-see for anyone interested in the history of the automobile, fashion, and the human experience.
