"A rare ladies’ fashion illustration from the renowned Parisian
fashion journal, La Gazette du Bon Ton (which translates as The
Magazine of Good Taste). From the beginning of the publication
to its end, La Gazette featured clothing designed by the best couturiers
and depicted by the best illustrators working in Paris during the
Art Deco period. Published intermittently in Paris from 1912 to 1925
with interruptions due to World War One, La Gazette is the most famous
and beautifully produced fashion periodical of its time. Created through
the employment of the pochoir technique, the sumptuous fashion plates,
in addition to offering beautiful works of illustration, give viewers
a peek into the development of art, fashion, and design at a time
when society was changing significantly and rapidly. The illustrations
testify as to how trends and movements within the fine arts, such
as Orientalism, Cubism, Futurism, and Abstract art, had a profound
influence on the decorative arts during this time." (Pratt Institute
Fashion Plate Collection)
Pochoir, French for stencil, defines a technique of print making
popular in France in the early 1900s. It is a labor intensive process
of applying brilliant color by hand using a series of cutout stencils.
Each plate is an original print using up to thirty stencils in one
image. All are hand colored and most are signed in the plate by the
illustrator.
