EDITORS COMMENTS
La Fleur d'Oranger," or "The Orange Blossom," is a captivating image of a woman adorned in an elegant and intricately detailed fancy dress costume from the 1920s. This stunning lithograph with pochoir stencil handcoloring is a rare and beautiful example of the extravagant and whimsical costumes popular during the Jazz Age. The woman in the photograph wears a silver dress, bedecked with delicate orange blossoms, giving her the appearance of a blooming orchid. The dress is accentuated by a glass hat, adorned with more orange blossoms, and a pair of ballet shoes. The use of pochoir stencil handcoloring adds a vibrant and rich dimension to the image, bringing the orange blossoms and other details to life. The woman's pose is reminiscent of a ballerina, adding to the overall theme of grace and elegance. The background is simple, allowing the intricacies of the costume to take center stage. This image is a testament to the creativity and artistry of the costumes designed during the 1920s, a time when people would go all out to impress at masquerade parties and other social events. André Messager, a renowned French painter and illustrator, is believed to be the artist behind this exquisite work. It was published in "Our Fancy Dress Costumes," a popular French publication that showcased elaborate and imaginative costumes for various occasions. The 1920s were a time of great artistic and cultural innovation, and this image is a beautiful representation of the nostalgic and romantic spirit of the era. This photograph is not only a work of art but also a historical artifact, providing a glimpse into the fashion and culture of the past. It is a must-have for anyone with an interest in fashion history, vintage costumes, or the Jazz Age.
