EDITORS COMMENTS
This image captures the essence of early 20th century elegance and the allure of the racetrack. The woman in the photograph, dressed in a stunning striped pekine taffeta tunic, exudes an air of sophistication and fearless charm. The tunic, with its intricate design and voluminous skirt, is reminiscent of the ornate costumes popularized by the Ballets Russes during the Belle Epoque. The woman's outfit is further accentuated by a translucent shawl, adding a touch of mystery and allure. However, her expression betrays a hint of apprehension, perhaps a sign of arachnophobia as she stands near a wrought-iron railing adorned with a spider. This image is a handcoloured pochoir (stencil) etching after an illustration by H. Honore, published in Tommaso Antongini's Journal des Dames et des Modes in Paris in 1914. The Art Deco influence is evident in the bold lines and vibrant colours, making this a true masterpiece of fashion plate art from the era. The woman's chic Parisian style, with its orientalist influences, continues to inspire fashion enthusiasts and art lovers alike. This photograph is a testament to the enduring allure of the past and the timeless beauty of fashion.
