EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Fashion has its dangers" by the French School of the 20th century showcases a humorous yet perilous scene. In this illustration for Le Petit Journal, dated 21 May 1911, we witness an amusing spectacle unfolding in Germany. A stylish woman adorned with a hat featuring a stuffed pigeon becomes the target of a hawk's swift attack. The image captures the moment when onlookers are startled and surprised by this unexpected turn of events. The woman, seemingly unaware of the danger lurking above her head, watches in astonishment as the bird swoops down towards her fashionable accessory. With her walking stick or cane held firmly in hand, she stands frozen in both amusement and fear. The juxtaposition between fashion and wildlife creates an intriguing narrative within this artwork. It serves as a reminder that even our most cherished adornments can come with unforeseen risks. This comical scene also sheds light on society's fascination with unique and daring fashion choices during that era. As we delve into this snapshot from history, it is fascinating to observe how art can capture moments that transcend time. This particular piece not only entertains but also offers insight into German culture at that period while showcasing European wildlife interactions. Through Fine Art Finder's collaboration with Bridgeman Images, we have access to remarkable prints like these which allow us to explore various aspects of human life through different artistic lenses.
