EDITORS COMMENTS
This illustration, titled "History Through Women: I'm like Louis XIV... I almost kept you waiting!" is a delightful caricature from the February issue of "Les Maitres de l'Caricature" published circa 1901. The image showcases a stylish woman in a black outdoor dress and a decorative hat, engaging in animated conversation with a large gentleman, who checks his pocket watch with a furrowed brow. The woman's confident demeanor and the man's surprised expression suggest a playful challenge to the notion that women were always late. The illustration offers an intriguing glimpse into the past, highlighting the fashion trends and social dynamics of the early 20th century. The lady's elegant attire, reminiscent of the opulence of the French monarchy, is a stark contrast to the man's more traditional, formal wear. Her bold statement, referencing the famous Sun King, Louis XIV, underscores her sense of self-assuredness and independence. This print is part of the extensive March of the Women Collection from Mary Evans Prints Online, which offers a rich and diverse archive of historical images that provide valuable insights into the lives and experiences of women throughout history. This particular illustration not only showcases the fashion and social norms of the time but also challenges stereotypes and offers a glimpse into the evolving role of women in society.
