EDITORS COMMENTS
This print, titled "V for Fiddlers and Villageoise - W for Wattwoman, around 1920" takes us back to the vibrant era of the 1920s. Created by an anonymous French School artist, this artwork measures 31x24 cm and is part of a private collection. The image is taken from "Alphabet du bal costume" a publication by Hachette in Paris during the early twentieth century. Illustrated by S. Decam, this alphabet primer showcases various characters representing each letter of the alphabet. In this particular print, we see two figures dressed in elaborate costumes starting with V and W respectively. The first character represents V for Fiddlers and Villageoise, capturing the essence of rural life in France at that time. The figure exudes charm as they hold a fiddle while wearing traditional village attire. Next to them stands another character representing W for Wattwoman, highlighting the growing influence of electric trams in urban areas during this period. This conductor-like figure dons an elegant outfit complete with a hat and gloves. Through this artwork, we catch a glimpse into French culture and society during the 1920s – a time when fashion was evolving rapidly alongside advancements in transportation technology. It serves as both an artistic representation and historical documentation of that era's clothing styles, public transport systems, and everyday life in villages across France. © Jean Duvallon has skillfully captured these fascinating aspects through his lens, allowing us to appreciate the artistry within everyday scenes from our past.
