EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "E for Escuyer du Roi et Espagnole - F for Folie et Farfadet - G for Gypsy and Greek Warrior" transports us back to the vibrant world of early 20th-century costume balls. Taken from an alphabet primer called "Alphabet du bal costume" published by Hachette in Paris around 1920, this artwork showcases the exquisite illustrations by S. Decam. Measuring at 31x24 cm, this print captures the essence of the era with its intricate details and elegant composition. It features three distinct characters representing different cultures and historical periods: an Escuyer du Roi (squire) accompanied by a Spanish lady, a Folie (clown) alongside a mischievous Farfadet (jester), and finally, a Gypsy standing beside a fierce Greek warrior. The image beautifully encapsulates the diversity of European culture during that time, highlighting influences from Spain, France, and ancient Greece. The costumes worn by each character are meticulously crafted with attention to detail, showcasing the artistry involved in creating such elaborate attire. This artwork not only serves as an aesthetic delight but also provides insight into the cultural exchange that occurred during these extravagant events. It reminds us of how people used clothing as a means to express their identity while celebrating different traditions. With its historical significance and artistic value, this print is truly a remarkable piece that allows us to appreciate both the beauty of fine art and the rich tapestry of human history.
