Experience the lighthearted charm of summer in France with this original 1911 cover from La Vie Parisienne, the iconic French magazine known for its wit, elegance, and cheeky social commentary. Founded in 1863 and reimagined in 1905 under Charles Saglio, La Vie Parisienne became a staple of Belle Époque culture, blending literature, art, and fashion with a flirtatious wink. Its covers captured the changing roles of women and the humor of modern life, all wrapped in the refined graphic style of the era. This illustration by French artist F. Fabiano features a spirited beachgoer assigning her small white dog the role of “bodyguard” while she heads for the water. The title, Le Garde du Corps (“The Bodyguard”), sets the stage, and the caption reads: “Attention, M. Trompette! Vous voilà gardien du vestiaire et chef du contrôle: défense d’approcher aux enfants au-dessous de trente ans!” Translation: “Careful, Mr. Trompette! You're now the wardrobe guard and head of security, no children under thirty allowed to approach!” With its tongue-in-cheek tone and breezy seaside palette, it’s a perfect example of Fabiano’s wit and the magazine’s playful take on modern femininity. A whimsical glimpse into the fashion and humor of Belle Époque Paris, this original cover is perfect for collectors drawn to vintage illustration and the flirtatious spirit of early 20th century French art.
