Here is my entry this week for Monochrome Madness, hosted by Leanne at Leanne Cole PHOTOGRAPHY. Another photo from the Art Deco Weekend.
I took a lot of photos of car mascots. I heard a few car fans muttering the magic word Lalique. And sure enough, when I googled it, I found that it is called ‘Tête d’Aigle’ by René Lalique, 1928 which I found at this site:

I loved the lines with this and just wanted the eagle’s head to stand out.
A little more information about Rene Lalique can be found here:

I love his works of art and I hope I have done it justice.

Beautiful. Never heard of him/it. It wasn’t me muttering. 😦

Put it this way – I had to fight my way forward to take this photo. It was very popular.
