EDITORS COMMENTS
This image showcases a woman transforming into the majestic eaglet, L'Aiglon, in an elaborate fancy dress costume from the 1920s. The lithograph, hand-colored using pochoir stencils, showcases the intricate details of the costume, which includes an eagle uniform, tall boots adorned with tassels, a sword, and feathered headdress. The woman's determined expression and outstretched wings convey the power and grace of the eagle, making this a truly stunning and historical piece. The 1920s were a time of great change and excitement, marked by the end of World War I, the rise of jazz music, and the emergence of flapper culture. Fancy dress parties became a popular way for people to let loose and express their creativity, leading to the development of elaborate and imaginative costumes like this one. The pochoir stencil technique used to hand-color this lithograph involved applying color through a stencil to create intricate and precise designs. This method was commonly used during the late 19th and early 20th centuries for high-end prints and illustrations, making this image a rare and valuable piece of historical art. The nostalgic charm of this image transports us back to a bygone era, where imagination and creativity reigned supreme. Whether displayed in a home, office, or gallery, this beautiful print is sure to be a conversation starter and a reminder of the rich history of fancy dress costumes and the jazz age.
