1. Title: "A Masked Poker Queen of the Jazz Age: A Captivating Image from Our Fancy Dress Costumes, Paris, 1928" In this lithograph, a woman dons an elaborate poker player fancy dress costume, transporting us back to the vibrant and enigmatic world of the 1920s. The image, titled "Costume de Carte," is a stunning example of the intricate detail and artistry that characterized the Our Fancy Dress Costumes collection from Paris, published in 1928. The woman's attire is a masterful blend of whimsy and sophistication. She wears a long, flowing dress adorned with intricate patterns, evoking the opulence and glamour of the era. A poker mask, embellished with rhinestones and feathers, covers her face, adding an element of mystery and allure. In one hand, she holds a poker chip, while in the other, she brandishes a fork, a nod to the cardsharp's tool of the trade. A deck of playing cards lies nearby, their faces partially obscured by the woman's extravagant dress, further emphasizing the enigma of the scene. The lithograph, created using the pochoir stencil handcoloring technique, showcases the meticulous artistry of its creators. Each element of the image is carefully hand-colored, adding depth and richness to the overall design. The result is a visually stunning representation of the nostalgic charm and historical significance of the 1920s, a time marked by jazz music, masquerade parties, and the rise of the flapper culture. This image offers a glimpse into the past, inviting us to imagine the stories and experiences of the people who wore these costumes and reveled in the joy and excitement of the Jazz Age. It is a testament to the enduring allure of history and the power of art to transport us to another time and place.
