EDITORS COMMENTS
This image is a handcoloured pochoir (stencil) etching from the prestigious Journal des Dames et des Modes, published in Paris in 1914. The print, titled "Woman in a large toile skirt, looking afraid of a spider," showcases a woman dressed in an elegant toile skirt, her face etched with fear as she gazes at a menacing spider. The skirt, made of striped taffeta and silk, is reminiscent of the traditional Chinese robes de taffetas et voile de soie raye, a popular fashion trend during the Art Deco and Belle Époque eras. The woman's attire is accessorized with an apron, a Chinese-inspired umbrella, and a delicate hand-painted fan. Her fearful expression and the presence of the spider add an element of surprise and intrigue to this otherwise serene scene. The print is an illustration by Gerda Wegener, a renowned Danish artist, and was published in the fashion journal's studio, Aux Bureaux du Journal des Dames. The image is a testament to the artistic and fashionable sensibilities of the time, with influences from the Ballets Russes and the chic Parisian society. The intricate details and vibrant colors of the pochoir etching technique bring the scene to life, transporting us back to a bygone era of elegance and sophistication.
