EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite image captures the essence of early 20th century elegance and sophistication. The young woman, dressed in a stunning white crepe de chine gown, adorned with intricate black velvet detailing, poses gracefully in a lush garden filled with roses. The delicate crepe de chine fabric, which was popular during the Belle Epoque and Art Deco periods, clings to her slender figure, accentuating her feminine curves. The contrasting black velvet accents add a touch of mystery and allure, while the handcoloured pochoir (stencil) etching technique adds an artistic flair to the print. The woman's outfit is reminiscent of the costumes worn by dancers in the Ballets Russes, which were known for their avant-garde and exotic influences. The high waistline, full skirt, and cinched waist are typical of the panier silhouette that was fashionable during this time. She accessorizes her outfit with a satin handbag and a chic dog, adding to the overall chicness of her appearance. The setting of the garden with its latticework and roses adds to the orientalist theme that was popular during this period. The latticework, with its intricate patterns and delicate lines, provides a beautiful backdrop for the young woman, while the roses symbolize love and beauty. This image, taken from Tommaso Antongini's Journal des Dames et des Modes, published in Paris in 1913, is a testament to the beauty and elegance of the early 20th century. The handcoloured pochoir etching technique adds a unique and artistic touch to the print, making it a desirable addition to any collection of fashion plates or art deco decor.
