EDITORS COMMENTS
This image showcases a woman in half-mourning attire, elegantly dressed in a black gown with a striking black-and-white striped cape, as depicted in a pochoir (stencil) etching from Tommaso Antongini's Journal des Dames et des Modes, published in Paris in 1913. The demi-deuil outfit, a transitional stage of mourning, features a linen dress with a pink border and a fichu (neck scarf) adorned with a bird in a cage. The woman's robe de linon raye bordee, or striped and bordered robe, is reminiscent of the Art Deco and Belle Époque eras, with their distinctive flair for ornate detailing and orientalist influences. The etching, hand-colored in a rosy hue, captures the chic Parisian fashion scene of the early 20th century, which was heavily influenced by the Ballets Russes and their avant-garde costumes. The woman's mourning outfit, while somber in color, is far from plain, with its intricate detailing and bold stripes adding an element of sophistication and style. The pochoir technique, which involved applying colored pigments through a stencil, adds a level of depth and texture to the image, making it a true work of art. Overall, this print offers a glimpse into the fashionable world of mourning wear during the early 1900s and the enduring allure of the Art Deco and Belle Époque eras.
