EDITORS COMMENTS
Apple Picking in LA Mode - A 1913 Fantasy of Eve and the Serpent This image, titled 'Apple Picking in LA Mode,' is a striking work of art from the Mary Evans Picture Library. The photograph, taken in 1913, depicts a fantastical interpretation of the biblical tale of Adam and Eve, with a modern twist. At the heart of the scene, we find Eve, dressed in an extravagant Travesti costume designed by Redfern. Her green dress, adorned with intricate beading and sequins, shimmers in the light, drawing the eye. Atop her head, she wears a magnificent headdress, shaped like a serpent with a sinister, yet alluring, snakes-head. The serpent's eyes are made of glistening jewels, adding an air of mystery and enchantment to the scene. Eve, the temptress, reaches out to pick a ripe, red apple from the tree. The tree itself is an unusual sight, its branches laden with golden apples, a clear deviation from the traditional story. The background is a blur of vibrant colors and patterns, adding to the whimsical and dreamlike quality of the image. This photograph is a fascinating blend of history and fantasy. The use of a Travesti costume, popular during the early 20th century, adds an element of theatricality and intrigue to the scene. The serpent's presence, traditionally a symbol of temptation and sin, is reimagined as an elegant and alluring figure, inviting us to question the morality of the story and its interpretation. 'Apple Picking in LA Mode' is a captivating work of art that invites us to explore the depths of our imagination and the rich history of storytelling. It is a testament to the power of art to challenge our perceptions and redefine the stories we know and love.
