EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a woman in a tweed hunting outfit, holding a shotgun with confidence and grace. The year is 1912, and the image showcases the fashion and style of that era. Dressed in Scottish wool attire, complete with gloves, gaiters, and shoes, she exudes elegance even in her hunting ensemble. The handcoloured pochoir (stencil) etching by Maurice Taquoy beautifully brings out the details of this illustration from Tommaso Antongini's Journal des Dames et des Modes. It transports us back to a time when hunting was not only an activity but also a statement of sophistication. The woman's poised stance suggests familiarity with firearms as she prepares for her hunt. The pheasant on her shoulder serves as both an accessory and symbolizes her prowess as a hunter. Her tweed suit consisting of jacket and skirt perfectly complements her surroundings. This artwork represents more than just fashion; it embodies the spirit of adventure during the Belle Époque period from 1871 to 1914. It reflects the changing roles of women at that time who were breaking free from societal norms and embracing new opportunities. With its art deco influence evident in Taquoy's style, this print is not only visually stunning but also tells a story about fashion trends, cultural influences like Orientalism, and the evolving world during the early twentieth century.
