- Notes:
- A satirical commentary on the dance craze sweeping Paris in the Jazz Age, parodying "Sur le pont d'Avignon, Tout le monde y danse, y danse." "Within weeks of the Armistice, Parisians were dancing again with their traditional furia francese. In 1919 dancing in Paris fully returned to its pre-war frenzy. 'The world is dance mad, but the visitor in Paris will soon come to the conclusion that the craze has reached its paroxysm in the French capital,' wrote a Monsieur Pierre, and The Dancing Times reported that 'They apparently cannot take a meal or watch a play through without breaking off for a round or two of dancing.'" (Powers, Richard. 1995. "Paris in the Jazz Age," http://socialdance.stanford.edu/Syllabi/Paris_jazz_age.pdf, accessed May 6, 2014).
The collection includes a number of maps in the art deco style of the time. For others, Search > "deco".
