EDITORS COMMENTS
This pochoir (stencil) etching, titled "Women in Walking Outfits Reading a Letter," dates back to 1913 and was created as an illustration for Tommaso Antongini's Journal des Dames et des Modes in Paris. The image showcases a group of elegantly dressed women engrossed in reading letters, their chic outfits a testament to the fashion trends of the Belle Époque and Art Deco eras. The women are depicted wearing robes de promenade, a popular fashion choice during this time. These outfits consisted of long skirts and short jackets, often adorned with intricate designs and embellishments. Each woman's ensemble is unique, with some donning hats featuring feathers and ribbons, while others opt for simple chapeaus. The illustration was created by the renowned French artist and designer, Armand Vallée, who was known for his innovative and stylish creations. Vallée's work often incorporated elements of orientalism, ballet, and the influence of the Ballets Russes. This pochoir etching is a beautiful example of the artistry and creativity that defined the fashion world during this period. The intricate details, from the delicate folds of the women's skirts to the delicate patterns on their hats, are brought to life through the stencil technique. The image exudes a sense of chic Parisian sophistication, transporting us back in time to the elegance and charm of early 20th century France.
