René Lalique was born #OTD (6 April 1860 - 1 May 1945). Since it's also still #BatAppreciationWeek, here are a few of Lalique's many bats!

1. bat anklet c.1898-9; gold, enamel, antique & rose diamond, opal 2. bat ring c.1899; silver, enamel, moonstone, gold both Musée des Arts décoratifs

Both these pieces were commissioned as gifts for American writer Natalie Clifford Barney (1876-1972), who was openly lesbian; bats were a Fin de siècle symbol of homosexuality. But they were also popular Art Nouveau motifs thanks to Japonisme. Here is another example:

3. Ring c.1901, gold, blue enamel, sapphire

And another, this one paired with another popular Art Nouveau animal:

4. "Butterflies and Bats" pocketwatch, c. 1899-1900; gold, enamel, moonstone.Via Christie's (sold in 2002 for US$207,500)

Paper doll with dresses, 1895.  G. H. Buek & Co., USA. Via MFA Boston.

Paper fashion dolls and their wardrobes offer us a unique opportunity to see the breadth of a wardrobe for a person from a single year. Beginning with the doll itself that is dressed in chemise, short petticoat, and corset, this series shows everything correct for day, afternoon and evening, as well as outfits for sport and seaside use. Such paper dolls would not only be a toy, but also a tool to learn about what was socially correct. Via Attire’s Mind

Félix Vallotton (1865-1925), Swiss-French painter, printmaker and writer.

I really love the clarity and strong linework of his woodcut portraits:
