Sports
1908
Step into the glamorous world of 1908 Paris with this witty illustration by Fernand Louis Gottlob! A stylish couple pauses on a staircase, showcasing the extreme fashion of the Art Nouveau era—her hat is an architectural marvel of feathers, while he sports a dapper top hat and a cigarette. The handwritten text at the bottom, titled 'Les Sports,' reveals a humorous caption about the dangers of driving, which was considered a thrilling new sport for the elite. It’s a delightful slice of Belle Époque life, capturing the moment when automobiles started replacing horse-drawn carriages in the hearts (and jokes) of high society.
