French actress | Photo collage | Le Panorama | 1900
-
With this sizable and seductive photo collage from the pages of the currently rare-to-find French almanac Le Panorama, the mysterious Parisian girl is drawing you in with her eyes.
The photo dates back to the threshold between the 19th and the 20th centuries, and the lady was a famous theatre or cabaret actress at the time. Unfortunately, her name remains a secret to us now, even though her body language hints at the possibility of revealing our deepest desires.
The album itself is entirely devoted to representing the French actresses at a time when the superficial layers of society perceived the sensual ladies from the stage as seducers and lower-class women. In spite of the restrictions on female freedom and rights however, the actresses manage to build a successful career that attracted the attention of the audiences, changing the understanding about what theatre is and laying the foundations for its modern version.
This exclusive product, with almost perfectly preserved colours in spite of 120 years of existence, is an unusual and charming gift for someone who has devoted their life to the art of acting, for the person who has an affinity for vintage memorabilia, and for the fans of French art. Moreover, the entire composition, which also includes an old-school frame with golden elements, would become a gorgeous decoration both in a luxurious and a homely environment.
