As the companion piece to 'Paris- Men With Their Pets', the ladies in this print show that their pets are just as bizarre as the mens’. The women are decidedly more affectionate with their creatures, which include a bear, fox, giraffe, squirrel, python, camel, monkey and -of course- a mammoth. The space in front of the arc de triomphe has been converted into a pet training ground, and there seems to be no creature that the intrepid female cannot succeed in domesticating whilst looking every inch a lady. Deliciously weird- a vision of what it might look like if the Paris WI took up animal circus training.
