Leaving for the Casino - A Glimpse into 1920s High Society
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This photo print, titled "Leaving for the Casino" offers a fascinating glimpse into the glamorous world of 1920s high society. Created as an illustration for La Gazette du Bon Ton in 1923 by renowned artist Georges Barbier, this colour lithograph captures the essence of elegance and sophistication that defined the era. In this scene, a stylish couple prepares to embark on an evening of excitement at the casino. The woman is adorned in a stunning evening dress designed by Worth, one of Paris's most prestigious couture houses. Her luxurious fur stole adds an extra touch of opulence to her ensemble, while her fan and feathered hat exude femininity and grace. The man complements his partner's elegance with his own impeccable style. His tailored coat and ostrich feather accessory showcase his refined taste and status within society. Barbier's attention to detail is evident in every brushstroke, capturing not only the fashion but also the social history of this vibrant period. This artwork transports us back to a time when gambling was seen as both thrilling entertainment and a symbol of wealth. As we admire this exquisite piece from our private collection, we are reminded of how art can encapsulate an entire era – its fashion trends, societal norms, and cultural values. It serves as a timeless reminder that beauty truly knows no bounds across different centuries or cultures.
