EDITORS COMMENTS
This image captures the essence of early 20th century elegance and travel, as a stylish woman dons a pelerinex jacket and black taffeta dress while aboard a train in 1913. The pelerinex, a fashionable and practical outerwear piece, was a staple in the wardrobes of Parisian women during this period, providing both warmth and a chic appearance. The woman's taffeta dress, with its flowing lines and intricate detailing, adds an air of sophistication and glamour to the scene. The train carriage setting exudes a sense of adventure and anticipation, as the woman gazes out of the window with a thoughtful expression. The inclusion of an exotic bird in a cage adds a touch of the exotic and the unexpected, reflecting the influence of orientalism and the Ballets Russes on fashion and art during this time. The handcoloured pochoir (stencil) etching, taken from an illustration by Marie-Madeleine Franc-Nohain in Tommaso Antongini's Journal des Dames et des Modes, further enhances the art deco and belle époque aesthetic of the image. The woman's swimsuit, with its high waistline and simple lines, hints at the upcoming trend of swimming costumes and the growing popularity of beach and ocean vacations. George Barbier, a renowned French artist and illustrator, is believed to have contributed to the creation of this plate, adding to its artistic merit and historical significance. This image is a testament to the fashionable and adventurous spirit of the early 20th century, and continues to captivate viewers with its timeless beauty and charm.
