"Parapluie: A Nostalgic Journey Through Time" Step back in time to the 1930s, where umbrellas were not just a necessity but a fashion statement. This advert takes us on a whimsical journey through the world of parapluies. In Saint Medard, the Patron Saint of Umbrella Sellers, we see a vibrant litho capturing the essence of umbrella culture in c. 1910. The image transports us to bustling streets filled with vendors showcasing their colorful wares. Fast forward to 1948 when Ernest Miller Hemingway and his wife Mary Welsh visit Venice. They stroll hand-in-hand under an elegant parapluie, shielding themselves from both raindrops and paparazzi. "The Last Look at England, " an oil painting from 1855, depicts rainy weather that seems almost poetic. It captures the melancholy beauty of English streets adorned with umbrellas as people bid farewell to their homeland. Parisian streets come alive in "A Street of Paris by Rainy Weather (Place de l'Europe)" painted in 1877. The canvas showcases individuals gracefully maneuvering through puddles while holding tightly onto their trusty companions - parapluies. But it's not just about city life; art tells stories beyond urban landscapes. In Carl Spitzweg's painting from 1839, we witness a poor poet lying in his attic sanctuary with only an old umbrella for solace and inspiration. Frederique Anatole Houbron's masterpiece "The Grands Boulevards" shows Cardinal Lemoine crossing under snowfall in Paris during 1902. Amidst this wintry scene, countless parapluies dotting the street create a mesmerizing visual symphony. Children's literature also embraces these iconic objects; Frederick Warne & Co's book "Afternoon Tea: Rhymes for Children" features enchanting illustrations like "The Quakers" and "The Runaway Ring.
