EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "O for Orientale and Carnation - P for Polichinelle and Papillon - Q for Quimperlois and Quimperloise, around 1920" transports us back to the vibrant world of early 20th-century France. The image showcases an alphabet primer from the era, specifically from a publication called "Alphabet du bal costume" by Hachette. Measuring at 31x24 cm, this artwork is a testament to the creativity and artistry of French School in the 1920s. Illustrated by S. Decam, it features intricate depictions of various elements associated with culture and costume during that time. The print captures our attention with its meticulous details: delicate flowers like orientales, carnations, and butterflies (papillons) are beautifully intertwined with characters such as Polichinelle (a famous character from Commedia dell'arte), representing Italian comedy. The inclusion of Quimperlois and Quimperloise adds a touch of regional flavor to this artistic composition. These references pay homage to the town of Quimperlé in Brittany, known for its rich cultural heritage. As we admire this piece, we are reminded not only of the beauty found within works of art but also how they reflect different aspects of society – be it fashion trends or theatrical traditions. This photograph serves as a window into both French history and European culture during the early decades of the twentieth century. Photo © Duvallon
