EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the front cover illustration of "Maitresse d Esthetes" by Willy, published by Albin Michel. The lithograph, created by Fernand Louis Gottlob, beautifully captures the essence of Symbolist literature in a satirical manner. The image depicts a stylish and elegant female figure walking along a fence-lined street. She is adorned with fashionable attire including a feathered hat, fur coat, and carrying a handbag. Her confident stride exudes sophistication as she embodies the epitome of belle epoque society. The artwork serves as a caricature of aesthetes or individuals who appreciate beauty and art for its own sake. It humorously portrays their obsession with fashion and social status through exaggerated symbols such as feathers and extravagant accessories. "Maitresse d Esthetes" was written by Henry Gauthier Villars under the ghostwriter Jean de Tinan's name. This literary work became known for its witty satire on society during that time period. This remarkable engraving from the early 20th century offers us an intriguing glimpse into both art and fashion history. Its intricate details invite viewers to immerse themselves in the world of esthetes while appreciating the artistic skill behind this satirical masterpiece.
