1. Title: "A Vision of Excitement: The Woman in Betting Stub Costume from the Roaring Twenties" This lithograph, titled "Woman in Betting Stub Costume," is a stunning example of the elaborate and whimsical costumes that defined the Fancy Dress Parties of the Jazz Age. Originating from the esteemed "Our Fancy Dress Costumes" collection in Paris, published in 1928, this vintage print showcases the essence of the era's vibrant and carefree spirit. The image features a woman dressed in an intricately designed costume, inspired by the thrilling world of horseracing. She dons a full skirt, adorned with intricate pochoir stencil handcolouring, evoking the texture and energy of betting stubs. Pantaloons complete the bottom half of her ensemble, providing a balance between femininity and the playful spirit of the costume. Her headdress is a masterpiece in its own right, featuring a series of reins and tickets, symbolizing the allure and excitement of the horse race. The woman's expression is one of determination and anticipation, as if she's about to place her bet on the winning horse. The lithograph's use of pochoir stencil handcolouring adds depth and texture, enhancing the overall visual appeal and transporting us back to the nostalgic charm of the twenties. This print is a testament to the rich history of Fancy Dress Parties and the unique role they played in the social landscape of the Roaring Twenties. It serves as a reminder of the era's love for theatrics, creativity, and the simple joy of dressing up and embracing the excitement of life.
