EDITORS COMMENTS
This image, hailing from the year 1913, showcases a woman in a stylish swimming costume, immersed up to her ankles in the crystal-clear waters of a serene beach scene. The woman, dressed in a double tunic and petite revers made of embroidered tulle, satin, and linen, cradles a crab gently in her hands. The intricate detailing of her costume, reminiscent of the Art Deco and Belle Époque eras, is a testament to the height of Parisian fashion during this time. The illustration, hand-colored using the pochoir (stencil) etching technique, was created by renowned French artist George Barbier for Tommaso Antongini's Journal des Dames et des Modes. The Journal was a leading fashion publication that showcased the latest trends and styles, making this plate an essential record of the era's fashionable sensibilities. The orientalist influence, popular during the Belle Époque, is evident in the exotic crab and the overall composition of the image. The image's tranquil setting, with the woman's elegant figure juxtaposed against the rugged crab, embodies the contrasting elements of nature and refinement that were celebrated during this period. This photograph is a stunning representation of the balletic grace and chic sophistication of the early 20th century. The Woman in Swimming Costume with Crab is not only a visual delight but also a historical document that offers a glimpse into the fashionable world of the past.
