EDITORS COMMENTS
This whimsical lithograph from 1928 captures a woman dressed in an elaborate costume as a purse, complete with a skirt shaped like a handbag adorned with tassels. The scene is set in Paris, the fashion capital of the world, during the roaring twenties. As the woman flaunts her unique ensemble, a vignette unfolds in the background - a bag snatcher running off with another purse. The contrast between the elegant lady and the thief adds an element of drama to this playful image. The unknown artist behind this piece has expertly captured the essence of 1920s fashion and flair. The handcoloring technique used enhances the vibrancy of the colors, bringing this scene to life. This artwork is part of "Nos Travestis" (Our Fancy Dress Costumes), showcasing various disguises and costumes popular during that era. It reflects not only the creativity and extravagance of fashion at that time but also hints at societal issues such as theft and crime. Overall, this print is a delightful mix of style, humor, and storytelling. It serves as a reminder of how fashion can be both fun and thought-provoking simultaneously.
