EDITORS COMMENTS
This enchanting fan design, titled "March of the Women" and dated circa 1901, transports us to a fantastical realm where the boundaries between land and sea blur. The image, from the "Les Maîtres de la Caricature" issue 15, August, by Adolphe Willette, showcases an ethereal scene of women in intricately detailed costumes, gracefully flying in the strong winds above the tranquil ocean. The winds, with their billowing white clouds, create a sense of dynamic energy, contrasting the serene beauty of the water below. A mermaid, her tail shimmering in the moonlight, leaps out of the water, reaching for the crescent moon. Her long, flowing hair cascades behind her, creating a mesmerizing trail in the water. The mermaid's expression is one of determination and longing, as she strives to grasp the elusive lunar orb. A fairy, with delicate wings and a mischievous grin, observes the scene from outside the fan design. She hovers near the edge of the moon, her curiosity piqued by the spectacle unfolding before her. The intricate details of the costumes, the mermaid's flowing hair, and the textures of the water and clouds all come together to create a captivating and otherworldly tableau. This fan design, a testament to the artistic vision of Adolphe Willette, invites us to dream and escape into a world of fantasy and wonder. The image, from the Mary Evans Prints Online collection, is a rare and beautiful example of the imaginative and whimsical art of the late 19th century.
