"Avril: A Journey Through Time and Imagination" Step into the whimsical world of "Avril, " where cartoons, mermaids, and U-Boats intertwine with the echoes of WW1. This captivating cover design takes us back to the International Exhibition in Brussels, a melting pot of creativity and innovation. In 1899, Jane Avril danced her way into history alongside Lautrec's brushstrokes. Their collaboration immortalized her grace and charm for generations to come. Meanwhile, a French postcard captures the majestic RMS Titanic off Cherbourg's shores—a haunting reminder of its tragic fate. Fast forward to 1932 when Averil Streatfield graced fashion magazines as she modeled Norman Hartnell's exquisite creations. Her crepe romain gown paired with a coat bordered with grey fox exuded timeless elegance. But "Avril" is not limited to individuals; it encompasses diverse realms. Avril Coleridge-Taylor adds musical notes that resonate through time while an April calendar page welcomes "The return of the pelerins. " The engraving depicting Aerolithe tombe à Laigle on April 26th, 1803 transports us to an era filled with wonder and discovery. Delve further into history as we witness pivotal moments like "Enlevement D Un Ballon Sur La Place De L'Hotel-De-Ville" during La Commune de Paris on April 21st, 1871. Another engraving showcases the Monument de Ciron—an emblematic site marking Zenith's descent after the catastrophe on April 15th, 1875. Lastly, an engraving from April 27th, 1718 portrays Incendie du Petit-Pont—a testament to resilience amidst destruction. And let us not forget Ms438—The Month of April: Gentleman Picking Flowers from a Book of Hours dating back to vellum in 1490—a delicate reminder of the passage of time.
