La Route d'Emeraude by Isabey, launched in 1924, emerges from a period rich in both historical transformation and cultural opulence. This era saw significant strides in luxury and elegance, a time when the legacy of ancient trade routes continued to shape the Western world's fascination with exotic goods and precious gemstones.
The 1920s, often referred to as the Roaring Twenties, was a decade marked by economic prosperity and cultural dynamism in many parts of the world, particularly in the United States and Europe. This period followed the devastating impacts of World War I and was characterized by a strong desire for newness and modernity. Society was undergoing rapid changes with advancements in technology, transportation, and communication, which in turn influenced fashion, art, and luxury goods.
