EDITORS COMMENTS
This image captures the essence of fashionable elegance during the Belle Époque and Art Deco eras, as depicted in Tommaso Antongini's Journal des Dames et des Modes in 1913. The woman in the photograph wears an exquisite robe a volants, or a dress with wide, flowing sleeves, adorned with ermine ruffles. The ermine, a polecat with white fur, was a symbol of luxury and royalty in European culture, making the addition of these ruffles an extravagant and desirable feature for high society women. Jan van Brock's handcoloured pochoir (stencil) etching masterfully brings the illustration to life, with the woman's graceful pose next to a chair adding to the overall refined and sophisticated atmosphere. The woman's cape, or manteau de putois, is also detailed with ermine collars, further emphasizing the opulence of the ensemble. The influence of Orientalism and the Ballets Russes is evident in the intricate design and exotic motifs present in the dress, which were popular trends during this time. The Parisians embraced this chic and sophisticated style, making it a must-have for any fashionable woman of the era. The intricacy of the handcoloured pochoir etching technique adds an additional layer of allure to the image, making it a true work of art. This photograph is a stunning reminder of the beauty and elegance of fashion during the early 20th century, and a testament to the enduring influence of the Belle Époque and Art Deco eras on fashion history.
