Photographer E. Le Blanc at 51 Rue Damrémont in the 18th arrondissement in Paris, captured this timeless image of a lovely young flapper dressed, rather than for the nightlife, for a tramp in the woods! The style, though trousers might be thought of as daring for the time, was common enough even in the 1910s for casual country wear. The young lady's hair is in a 20's bob though, and what little history we could find on E. Le Blanc, suggested that their studio was in operation in the 1910s and 20s. We are always particularly pleased when we are able to offer the unusual image in our shop, and despite the fact that what is casual, might not feel "unusual," it is not what we commonly run across, particularly done in so wonderful a fashion. Gorgeous sweater, and wonderful lace-up boots. We love it! This look never stays out of fashion for very long, either, does it? We can easily imagine Slyvia Plath dressing casual beatnik in this garb, and the outfit is practically L.L. Bean of 1985! (Maybe 2014, for all we know...haven't looked in their catalogue for decades :)
Incidentally, the signature in the top left corner of the card is scrawled in a particularly well-practiced way, after the fashion of a film star or recording artist....always makes us a bit nervous, like we've missed something. Do you know something we don't? It happens all the time, sigh :)
A very nice, unposted RPPC.
