description
The illustration designed by Paul Iribe (a renowned designer) and published in the special issue of “Comoedia” illustré on February 1, 1912, depicts a scene from the play “Rue de la Paix” by Abel Hermant de Marc de Toledo. It is a composition created using an assembly technique, featuring the actresses Maud Gipsy, Georgette Aman, and Leprince shown from different angles, each appearing twice. The costumes, designed by the same artist, were made by the prestigious Paquin fashion house, reflecting the elegance of Parisian Belle Époque fashion. This illustration highlights the close connection between theater and haute couture, a symbol of the artistic vibrancy at the turn of the 20th century.
