EDITORS COMMENTS
This whimsical illustration by Andre Wely captures the essence of early 20th-century French society with a touch of humor and satire. The cover art for Le Rire magazine depicts a scene titled "The Invoice," showcasing a couple in their bathtub, surrounded by various elements symbolizing hygiene, fashion, and luxury. The woman in the illustration is elegantly dressed in a fashionable costume, complete with gloves and a parasol. She lounges comfortably in the tub while her male companion looks on, holding what appears to be an invoice - perhaps poking fun at the extravagant spending habits of the time. Wely's attention to detail is evident in every aspect of this artwork - from the intricate engravings on the bathtub to the elaborate hat perched atop the woman's head. The composition exudes charm and wit, inviting viewers to take a closer look at all the subtle nuances hidden within. As we delve deeper into this image, we are transported back to a bygone era where societal norms and values were reflected through everyday activities like bathing. Through his clever caricature, Wely sheds light on themes of money, economy, and social status that were prevalent during this period. Overall, this print serves as both a historical snapshot and a satirical commentary on life in early 20th-century France. It is truly a testament to Wely's talent as an artist and his ability to capture the essence of his time with wit and creativity.
