Below Zero - A Satirical Take on Freezing French Fashion
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This colourful lithograph, titled "Below Zero" is an amusing illustration that originally appeared in the satirical magazine Le Rire on 1 February 1908. Created by Jules Abel Faivre, a renowned caricaturist of his time, this artwork captures the essence of freezing winter weather with a touch of humor and social commentary. The scene depicts a man and woman braving the bitter cold while engaging in conversation. Dressed in exaggerated winter attire, their outfits become comical costumes rather than practical clothing. The man sports an oversized coat and hat, while the woman wears a funny dress complete with muff and cloak. Faivre's satirical drawing not only mocks fashionable French society but also serves as scathing satire towards European fashion trends at large. With exaggerated proportions and humorous details, he highlights the absurdity of prioritizing style over comfort during freezing temperatures. This print offers us a glimpse into early 20th-century France's culture and sense of humor. It reminds us that even amidst freezing conditions, laughter can be found through clever caricatures like those featured in Le Rire. As we admire this piece from Bridgeman Images' private collection, let it serve as a reminder to embrace warmth over fashion when facing below-zero temperatures – unless you're willing to sacrifice comfort for comic relief!
