Before I realized I really wouldn’t have much wall space in the “studio,” I started collecting images of art that was textile or needleart-related, with the intention of finding a framable print or two for the walls in my project room.

In sostanza, il contrario dei selfie. E molto inquietanti.
With the Edwardian era, which lasted from 1900 to 1912, came many life improvements that we still use today, such as electricity, cars, and vacuum cleaners. Still, it has also given us a fair share of bizarre facts, most of them concerning women.

Photography is a form of art that can freeze the emotions of the moment in time. The development of the art has influenced the world in remarkable ways and it provided people with power to define the eras they live in. Bored Panda once did a list on 100 most influential photos of all time, which includes the iconic capture of the protesting burning monk, or a distressing shot of a student kneeling next to her dead friend during the Kent State shootings. Shots like these have defined the way we are as human beings and helped to look at ourselves from a different perspective: where are we going as a society? Why do we allow atrocities to happen? However, to really feel the influence and true impact of the photograph, one should know the context behind it. Here, we have compiled a list of thirty, seemingly mundane and not-that-spectacular-visually photographs with remarkable, unforgettable, strange and sad backstories.
Here we have a photograph of exactly the type of personality the bourgeois expected to meet at the cabaret. This is Louise Weber or "La Goulue," so named for her tendency to pick up a patrons glass and down the whole thing. The imagery here suggests entertainment, dancing, progressive ideas, liberty, free love, and all that jazz. Liberty is especially present here. Undoubtedly this picture was take after 1886, as she is clearly imitating the Statue of Liberty, gifted in that year. However, rather than pure lady liberty, here we see licentious stockings, her undergarments, her pushed up bust, and in place of a torch, she holds a champagne flute. Furthermore, she is sitting, seeming at ease, and has her legs crossed like a gentleman. All of these things contribute to conveying the image that the cabarets were striving to cultivate in response to Hausmannization, in order to attract their bourgeois clientele. This is a beautiful example of the kind of wild individuality, revolutionary spirit, and slightly lower class type of person that the bourgeois were seeking. Image dated between 1885-1895, I would suggest certainly after 1886. Image found on Europeana.
