"Tablier: A Glimpse into the Past Through Engravings, Paintings, and Photographs" Step back in time with a collection of captivating images that showcase the significance and versatility of the tablier. From historical events to everyday life scenes, this 150 caption takes you on a journey through various contexts where the tablier played a role. In "Two Ladies Walking 1853, " we catch a glimpse of elegance as women don their aprons while strolling through bustling streets. These practical yet stylish garments were an essential part of their attire. The engraving depicting the "Costume of a Freemason for his reception into the grade of Master, c. 1848" showcases how even secret societies incorporated the tablier into their ceremonial dress. It symbolized honor and tradition within these exclusive circles. Moving on to Alphonse Lemerre's publication titled "Alphabet, " we find intriguing engravings under letters B and P. The letter B presents us with diverse characters such as Breton, Belier (ram), Drinker, Beef, Butcher - all adorned with their respective aprons representing their trades or identities. Similarly, letter P introduces us to figures like Pharmacist, Pelican, Postillon (postman), Umbrella bearer - each proudly displaying their unique apron designs that reflect their professions or roles in society. Colette and Willy's iconic work "Claudine at school" brings forth an illustration capturing youthful innocence amidst academia. Here we see young girls comparing skipping abilities while wearing colorful aprons – a playful representation of childhood camaraderie. However, not all depictions are lighthearted; Jean Ulysse Roy's antisemitic cartoon portrays disturbing imagery on an apron worn by a Jew collating money from graves. This unsettling portrayal highlights societal prejudices prevalent during that era.
