LA VIE PARISIENNE 1923 Risque Print Peek-a-Boo Breast
This a vintage 1923 Art Deco French print from the erotic French magazine La Vie Parisienne. Titled Au Casino de Machinville-Sur-Mer. This is a quality internal color illustration with images or text on the reverse. Illustrated by Vald' Es. SIZE: Approx. 9 1/2" x 12 3/4". La Vie Parisienne was a French weekly magazine founded in Paris in 1863 and popular at the start of the 20th century. Originally it covered novels, sports, theater, music and the arts. In 1905 the magazine changed hands and the new editor Charles Saglio changed its format to suit the modern reader. It soon evolved into a mildly risque erotic publication. During World War I, General Pershing personally warned American servicemen against purchasing the magazine, which boosted its popularity in the United States. La Vie Parisienne was hugely successful because it combined a new mix of subjects - short stories, veiled gossip and fashion banter, also comments about subjects from love and the arts to the stock exchange - with beautiful cartoons and full-page color illustrations by leading artists of the age. Alongside this the magazine also reflected the changing interests and values of the start of the 20th century population such as fashion and frivolity. The artwork of La Vie Parisienne reflected the stylization of Art Nouveau and Art Deco illustration, mirroring the aesthetic of the age as well as the values, and this coupled with the intellectualism, wit and satire of its written contributions was a combination that proved irresistible to the French public. It included artwork of illustrators including George Barbier, Cheri Herouard, Georges Leonnec, and Maurice Milliere.

Excellent condition except for a light bend in the top right and a very light wrinkling throughout that may be have been caused by dampness. Most or all of the wrinkling would "disappear" once the print is framed.
