EDITORS COMMENTS
In this black and white lithograph, titled "The French policemen were very polite" we are transported back to the vibrant streets of 1920s Paris. The illustration is taken from Anita Loos' novel, But Gentlemen Marry Brunettes, published in 1928. The scene depicts a humorous social satire as two American women find themselves lost in the city of love. Dressed in fashionable flapper attire complete with cloche hats, they approach a pair of uniformed French policemen for assistance. Contrary to popular stereotypes, these officers break free from the image of rude and unhelpful Parisians. With an air of elegance and charm, the French policemen eagerly offer their aid to the distressed Americans. Their polite demeanor shines through as they listen attentively to the women's request for directions. This delightful caricature captures not only the style and fashion of the era but also challenges preconceived notions about cultural interactions. The artist Ralph Barton skillfully brings this satirical moment to life with his intricate detailing and clever composition. Through his work, he invites us to reflect on our own assumptions while celebrating cross-cultural encounters filled with politeness and understanding. This vintage print serves as a reminder that kindness knows no boundaries or nationalities; it transcends language barriers and fosters connections between people from all walks of life.
