EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite lithograph depicts a woman in a stunning fancy dress costume inspired by the pink carnation of Nice, or 'oeillet de Nice.' The intricately detailed print, created in Paris in 1928, showcases the woman's elegant collar and full, flowing skirt adorned with delicate pink petals that seem to blend seamlessly with the fabric. The use of pochoir stencil handcoloring adds a vibrant and rich dimension to the image, bringing the pink hue of the carnation to life. During the 1920s, the era of jazz age glamour and masquerade parties, such elaborate and creative costumes were a popular trend. The pink carnation of Nice was a symbol of elegance and sophistication, making it an ideal inspiration for fancy dress attire. The pink carnation, or 'dianthus caryophyllus,' is a native flower of the Mediterranean region, particularly in Nice, France. It is known for its sweet fragrance and delicate pink petals, which have been admired for centuries. In the late 19th and early 20th centuries, the pink carnation became a popular motif in art and fashion, often used to represent the city of Nice and its rich cultural heritage. This beautiful lithograph is a testament to the enduring appeal of the pink carnation and the fashionable trends of the 1920s. It offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time of glamour, elegance, and creativity.
