EDITORS COMMENTS
A Chilling Encounter in the Garden: A Woman's Fear Unleashed by a Harmless Bee, 1913 This handcoloured pochoir (stencil) etching, published in Tommaso Antonginis Journal des Dames et des Modes in 1913, portrays a woman in an exquisite Paul Poiret ensemble, startled by an unexpected visitor in her tranquil garden. The woman, dressed in a blue wool crepe petite robe de jardin, complete with a white fichu and cuffs, stands frozen in fear as a bee hovers menacingly nearby. The serene atmosphere of the garden is shattered by the woman's sudden terror, as evidenced by her wide-eyed expression and clenched fists. The intricate details of the etching, from the delicate folds of her dress to the intricate patterns on the garden bench, add to the overall sense of stillness and beauty. However, upon closer inspection, the image reveals a more ominous undertone. The background of the print depicts a bustling street scene, with men engaged in a brawl and a pub in the distance. The inclusion of these elements suggests that the woman's fear may not be solely due to the bee, but rather a reflection of the chaos and unpredictability of the world beyond the garden gates. The use of a copperplate engraving technique adds to the print's vintage charm, transporting us back to the early 20th century. The etching also bears the signature of George Beattie, a renowned Scottish engraver, further adding to its historical significance. Despite its playful and seemingly innocuous subject matter, this print also hints at darker themes, such as the supernatural, tall tales, and even caricature. The juxtaposition of the woman's fear and the mundane chaos of the street scene creates a sense of unease and intrigue, leaving us wondering what other hidden stories lie within the pages of Tommaso Antonginis Journal des Dames et des Modes.
