Step back in time to the glamorous 1920s, where fashion was a statement of elegance and sophistication. At the Ascot races, Lady Congleton and her companion exude timeless style. Lady Congleton dons a stunning Lanvin dress from Jeanne's renowned Parisian atelier. The silk crepe and net fabric drapes gracefully on her figure, epitomizing the chicness associated with French fashion. In another scene, we encounter a lady adorned with pearls in 1925. This gouache painting captures the allure of this classic accessory that symbolized wealth and refinement during this era. The art deco ring showcased here is an exquisite piece from around 1920. Crafted with emerald, diamonds, and synthetic rubies, it exemplifies the opulence of jewelry design during this period. Paul Signac's black-and-white photograph taken in 1921 transports us to an era where artistic expression flourished amidst societal change. His work reflects both his talent as a photographer and his ability to capture the essence of life in early twentieth-century France. A woman depicted in oil on canvas holds a vibrant bouquet of flowers in 1922—a testament to nature's beauty intertwined with fashionable aesthetics. Not only did fashion captivate society's attention; industrial progress also left its mark on visual culture. A colored photograph from circa 1920 showcases a power house mechanic diligently working on a steam pump—an emblematic representation of technological advancements that shaped society during this decade. Zooming closer into this world of industry reveals another captivating image: a close-up shot capturing every detail as the power house mechanic works meticulously on the steam pump—a reminder that even within machinery lies beauty worth appreciating. Lastly, we catch sight of an impressive automobile—the sleek lines and polished exterior make it clear why Cleveland Six cars were sought after by those seeking luxury transportation options during this time period (circa 1925).
