Details
Xavier Sager (1870-1930) illustrated Paris life in the first few years of the 1900's, wonderful images focusing on the decadence and the fun of the era. Most cards we're signed Xavier Sager, but he also signed a few as Leger, Salt Lake, etc. Sager is considered to be the creator of this type of caricature (specially those on fashion and hairstyles of women), and many imitated his style in Paris ( Aris Mertzanoff, Charles Naillod, G. Mouton, Robé, Vindier, A. Molynk).
