EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph, Lucien Alphonse Legros, the esteemed President of the Institut des Arts et Techniques du Textile (IAE) during the years 1911-1912 and 1915-1917, is seen in a thoughtful pose near the edge of a winding country road. The year is circa 1917, and the setting is idyllic, with lush greenery and rolling hills in the background. Legros, a renowned figure in the field of textile arts and technologies, is dressed in formal attire, including a suit jacket and tie, which contrasts strikingly against the rustic backdrop. His expression is contemplative, as if deep in thought about the future of the IAE and the role of technology in the textile industry. Intriguingly, Legros is accompanied by an automobile, a symbol of the modern age and a testament to the rapid technological advancements of the time. The car, with its sleek design and large wheels, is parked nearby, suggesting that Legros may be on his way to an important engagement or inspection. The presence of the automobile in the photograph underscores the intersection of art and technology during the early 20th century. The IAE, under Legros' leadership, was at the forefront of integrating new technologies into textile production, and this photograph captures the essence of that innovative spirit. This evocative image offers a glimpse into the past, showcasing the visionary leadership of Lucien Alphonse Legros and the transformative impact of technology on the textile industry during a pivotal moment in history.
