Flapper Discover Hidden Hiding
EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from Anthony Asquith's Underground (1928), we are transported back to the roaring 20s, a time of hidden desires and secret rendezvous. Elissa Landi and Cyril McLagen take center stage, their expressions shrouded in darkness as they stand before a mysterious door. The dimly lit surroundings create an air of intrigue, beckoning us to discover what lies beyond. Landi, the epitome of a glamorous flapper, exudes an aura of confidence and allure. Her eyes sparkle with mischief as she stands beside McLagen, who appears equally enigmatic. What secrets do they hold? What adventures await them behind that concealed entrance? Asquith masterfully captures the essence of this era through his use of light and shadow. The darkened backdrop symbolizes not only physical obscurity but also the clandestine nature of their encounter - perhaps a forbidden romance or a thrilling escape from reality. This image serves as a reminder that even in an age defined by societal constraints, there were those who dared to challenge conventions and embrace liberation. It invites us to reflect upon our own hidden desires and urges us to explore uncharted territories within ourselves. Through this evocative photograph, we are transported into the world of Underground (1928) where passion simmers beneath the surface and secrets lie waiting to be discovered.
