EDITORS COMMENTS
This enchanting illustration, titled "Les Maîtres de la Caricature: Un Soldat Français et une Dame" (The Masters of Caricature: A French Soldier and a Lady), dates back to circa 1901, and depicts a charming moment of assistance between a French military man and a young woman. The soldier, having removed his distinctive bearskin hat, tenderly helps the lady fasten the back of her dress, revealing an intimate connection between the two. The black-and-white print, from the esteemed March of the Women Collection at Mary Evans Prints Online, captures the elegance and grace of the Belle Époque era. The French military man's uniform, complete with epaulets and a sash, exudes a sense of authority and discipline, while the lady's delicate dress and demure expression convey a sense of refinement and vulnerability. The image invites the viewer to imagine the story behind this moment of assistance, adding to the allure of this illustration.
