EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the enchanting Christmas and New Year season of 1899. The advertisement for Felix Potin, a renowned French department store, exudes the spirit of festive joy and excitement that filled the air during this period. The colour lithograph showcases a bustling Parisian street scene adorned with vibrant decorations and illuminated shop windows. In the foreground, we see a stylishly dressed driver navigating an early motor car through the snow-covered streets. This innovative mode of transportation symbolizes progress and modernity, reflecting the changing times at the turn of the century. The grand magasin's name prominently displayed on banners captures our attention, inviting us to step into its world of shopping delights. As we gaze at this image, we can't help but imagine ourselves strolling through its doors, surrounded by an array of presents waiting to be discovered. This advertisement not only serves as a reminder of how advertising has evolved over time but also evokes feelings of nostalgia for simpler times when holiday shopping was an experience in itself. It transports us to a winter wonderland where dreams come true and cherished memories are made. Preserved in eArchives Charmet at Bibliotheque des Arts Decoratifs in Paris, France, this piece from Bridgeman Images is a testament to both artistic beauty and historical significance. It allows us to appreciate how art can capture moments in history while simultaneously igniting our imagination with its timeless charm.
