Celebrate the arrival of spring through this exquisite April 22, 1911 cover from La Vie Parisienne, the legendary French magazine that captured the art, charm, and flirtation of Belle Époque Paris.
First published in 1863, La Vie Parisienne found new life in the early 1900s under the direction of Charles Saglio, when it began to blend fashion, humor, and society with graceful, often provocative illustrations. These covers became visual love letters to the seasons, femininity, and modern Parisian life. Titled Les Premières Roses (“The First Roses”), this romantic composition shows a nude young woman walking barefoot at dawn, wrapped entirely in a lush bouquet of spring blooms. A flowering tree and rising sun frame her in a dreamlike landscape, accompanied by a quote from 16th-century poet Pierre de Ronsard: “Vivez, si m’en croyez, n’attendez à demain! Cueillez dès aujourd’hui les roses de la vie...” or “Live, if you believe me, do not wait for tomorrow! Gather today the roses of life.” A classic ode to seizing the moment, rendered with soft color and delicate line.
A striking example of seasonal symbolism and poetic beauty, this original cover is perfect for collectors drawn to the elegance, sensuality, and timeless allure of vintage French illustration.Experience the charm of early 1900s Paris through an original illustration from La Vie Parisienne, the iconic French magazine that captured the elegance, wit, and spirit of the era. First published in 1863, La Vie Parisienne began as a broad cultural journal covering literature, arts, and society.
Perfect for anyone drawn to the timeless style and cheeky sophistication of vintage Paris.
