EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph depicts a wrestler in a fancy dress costume, showcasing the unique blend of athleticism and theatricality that defined the era of jazz age festivities in the 1920s. The image, titled "lutteuse" or "wrestler," is a stunning example of the artistry and craftsmanship of the Our Fancy Dress Costumes collection from Paris, published in 1928. The wrestler's costume is adorned with intricate tassels and wristbands, adding a touch of elegance and allure to the traditional athletic attire. The pochoir stencil handcoloring technique used in this print enhances the vibrancy and detail of the image, bringing the wrestler's costume to life with rich, bold colors. The nostalgic charm of this print transports us back to the twenties, a time of decadence, glamour, and masquerade parties. The wrestler's fierce expression and muscular physique contrast sharply with the delicate, ornate details of the costume, highlighting the juxtaposition of strength and sophistication that was emblematic of the era. This lithograph is not only a testament to the creativity and artistry of the Our Fancy Dress Costumes collection but also a fascinating glimpse into the history of costume design and the cultural significance of masquerade balls during the jazz age. The intricate details and vivid colors make this print a must-have for any collector of vintage art or those with an appreciation for the history of costume and fashion.
