Causing Damour Gerbault Issue Lalbum Letters Lettres Maitres Nonchalantly Oaths Placing Portrays 1901

EDITORS COMMENTS
(circa 1901): A poignant and evocative illustration from the September issue of "Album des Maîtres de la Caricature," published by Henry Gerbault and Jean Louis for Mary Evans Prints Online. This image portrays a young woman, dressed in the height of early 20th-century fashion, nonchalantly placing a stack of love letters into the fire. The letters, once filled with heartfelt oaths and promises, now succumb to the flames, their ink turning to smoke. The scene is a poignant representation of the end of a romantic relationship, with the smoldering embers symbolizing the ashes of a once passionate connection. The artist masterfully captures the melancholic beauty of the moment, inviting the viewer to ponder the complexities of love and its inevitable transience. This evocative illustration, titled "Lettres D'Amour," offers a glimpse into the emotional depths of human experience and the enduring power of love, even in its most bittersweet moments.
