EDITORS COMMENTS
This enchanting postcard image captures the literary genius and playful spirit of Sidonie-Gabrielle Colette (1873-1954), a renowned French novelist, and her beloved dogs. Colette, known for her wit and evocative storytelling, is depicted in this photograph, taken during her later years, as she sits comfortably in a large armchair, her small hat perched atop her head. Her expression is thoughtful, yet her eyes sparkle with mischief as she gazes off into the distance. Two small, fluffy dogs sit at her feet, their ears perked up and their eyes fixed on their mistress. The dogs, with their large, expressive eyes and plush coats, seem to embody the warmth and companionship that Colette found in their presence. The image is a testament to the deep bond between the writer and her pets, a bond that brought her comfort and inspiration throughout her life. Colette's literary career spanned over six decades, and she is best known for her novels "Claudine at School" and "Gigi," which were later adapted into successful films. Her writing was characterized by its sensuality, wit, and exploration of female sexuality, making her a trailblazer in French literature. This charming postcard image offers a glimpse into the personal side of this literary icon, revealing a woman who found joy and solace in the company of her loyal companions. The image is a reminder of the enduring power of literature and the deep connections we form with the animals that share our lives.
