The Cry of Paris – Sunday May 23, 1897
1897-1903
Step back into the fashionable streets of 1897 Paris with this striking magazine cover by Félix Vallotton! Two stylishly dressed women, sporting enormous feathered hats and carrying giant hatboxes, strut confidently beneath the bold orange banner of Le Cri de Paris. Vallotton, a master of sharp lines and graphic contrasts, perfectly captures the satirical and chic spirit of the French capital at the turn of the century. This illustration isn't just a fashion plate; it's a witty glimpse into the bustling, trend-obsessed world of the Belle Époque.
