EDITORS COMMENTS
This vintage print captures an illustration by Abel Faivre, a renowned French artist from the late 19th and early 20th century. The artwork was originally featured in Le Rire, a popular French satirical magazine known for its humorous illustrations. Published on March 5th, 1913, this particular piece focuses on the theme of physical culture and sport. In the illustration, we see a young girl engaged in gymnastics or physical exercise. Faivre's attention to detail is evident as he portrays her body with precision and grace. However, what makes this image intriguing is the juxtaposition of nudity and obesity. The naked woman challenges societal norms surrounding beauty standards and body acceptance. Faivre's work often tackled social issues of his time, using satire to shed light on various aspects of society. This engraving serves as a commentary on body image and how it relates to sports and physical fitness. As we delve into this historical artifact from the early 20th century, it reminds us that discussions around body positivity are not new but have been present throughout history. It also highlights Faivre's talent as an engraver and his ability to convey complex ideas through visual art. Overall, this illustration offers us a glimpse into both the artistic style of Abel Faivre and the cultural attitudes towards women's bodies during that era.
