EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: "A Vision of the Moon: A Woman in Lunar Fancy Dress, 1928" This lithograph, hand-colored with pochoir stencils, showcases a woman in an extraordinary lunar fancy dress costume, transporting us to the magical world of masquerade parties during the Jazz Age of the 1920s. The image, titled "Lalune" or "The Moon," is a stunning creation from the "Our Fancy Dress Costumes" series published in Paris in 1928. The woman's dress is adorned with intricate moon motifs, resembling the craters and seas of the lunar surface. Delicate shooting stars and roses cascade down the hem, adding to the ethereal beauty of the ensemble. Her headdress is a magnificent representation of the moon, complete with a radiant crescent and twinkling stars. A veil of fine mesh, reminiscent of the night sky, frames her face, adding an air of mystery and allure. The pochoir stencil hand-coloring technique used in this lithograph adds depth and dimension to the image, making the moon, stars, and roses appear more vibrant and lifelike. The woman's pose, with her arms outstretched, further emphasizes the celestial theme, as if she is embracing the night sky and the magic it holds. This image is a testament to the creativity and imagination of the 1920s, a time when people embraced the unknown and allowed their imaginations to run wild. It is a reminder of the power of fancy dress costumes to transport us to different worlds and let us explore new possibilities. The "Our Fancy Dress Costumes" series, with its exquisite designs and innovative techniques, continues to inspire and captivate us, offering a glimpse into the rich history of costume design and the cultural significance of masquerade parties.
