This is a hand-colored pochoir, Plate #38, issue #5 of the Gazette du Bon Ton - 1921. Evidence that Paul Poiret is still in his prime going into the new decade, where he will become "the King" of haute couture. Wonderfully rich contrasts and colours, and a deliberately melodramatic nostalgic setting keeps the attention; the implied narrative is as usual engaging. Approx. overall dimensions: H. 9.5in X W. 7.5in; H. 24.1cm X W.19.1 |
