In this photo print, we see Miss Iris Leslie, a London girl who has been chosen to embody the timeless elegance of Madame Recamier. As the British Industries Fair approaches, Miss Leslie will be giving a life representation of the famous portrait that resides in the Louvre. Madame Recamier was not only a leader of Parisian society but also influenced fashion trends in London over a century ago. The portrait depicts her at the age of 23, gracefully reclining on a couch while adorned in an exquisite white evening gown with classical design elements. To ensure authenticity, Miss Leslie's wig is meticulously crafted to mirror Madame Recamier's coiffure flawlessly. In this image captured at her school, we witness the final touches being delicately placed on her hairdo before she takes center stage as Madame Recamier at the fashion theatre within Earls Court. This photograph transports us back to February 10th, 1938 - an era between two world wars where Europeana photography flourished. It showcases both the artistry behind press photography and its ability to capture moments that transcend time. Courtesy of TopFoto. co. uk, this remarkable image serves as a reminder of how history intertwines with fashion and culture.
