| Description | Can't Help Lovin' that Man! by Helen McKie |
| Details |
A red-haired woman staring into the eyes of her lover - a magnetic but dangerous looking 'Apache' man, an allegedly savage member of the Parisian underworld haunting areas such as Montmartre and La Villette in the early 20th century. Apache 'types' were a popular subject for illustrators during the 1920s, possessing as they did a streak of exotic sexuality, though they were often depicted as being casual or even cruel to their lovers.
