EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite handcoloured pochoir (stencil) etching captures the elegance and sophistication of a woman in a green ratine and black velvet suit from the early 20th century. The image, taken from Tommaso Antongini's Journal des Dames et des Modes, published in Paris in 1914, showcases the woman's refined sense of style as she gazes into a mirror, adjusting the coral-colored gilet (waistcoat) of her fine serge (woolen fabric) suit. The suit's tailleur (tailcoat) is made of green ratine, a type of crêpe fabric, while the velvet suit jacket adds a touch of luxury and depth. The woman's outfit is accessorized with a raspberry taffeta gilet, adorned with small coral buttons, and a chic hat with a plume. The orientalist influences of the Art Deco and Belle Epoque eras are evident in the intricate design of her hat and the delicate patterns on the wallpaper and mirror behind her. The woman's poised and confident pose, along with the ornate details of her costume, reflect the opulence and glamour of Parisian high society during this time. This stunning etching, created by the renowned illustrator George Barbier, is a testament to the beauty and artistry of fashion during the Victor era. The intricate handcolouring adds depth and texture to the image, making it a true work of art that transports us back in time to a bygone era of elegance and refinement.
