Straw boater, little black top, one very patient camel, one delighted handler. The press lost their minds.

Peyre worked this scene up almost certainly from a press photograph, and honestly? We adore him for it. This isn't a museum piece pretending to be one. It's a gloriously silly, \u003cem\u003egloriously glamorous moment\u003c\/em\u003e, caught in oil by someone who lived the era.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eSigned lower left.
