This is plate-signed pochoir illustration from the 1913 Journal des Dames et des Modes Plate #127) - a Parisian fashion journal published by Tom Antongini from June 1912 until August 1914. In her 1979 book "Parisian Fashion" Christina Nuzzi describes this Journal: "With its expensive layout, its society columns, its poetic texts, its colourful annotations and its fashion reports, it represented the last brilliant, refined, impartial and aestheticizing impulse of a happy and optimistic society occupying the centre of the stage in the period that has aptly been called the 'Belle Epoque'" This image was also chosen for the cover of the German version of Nuzzi's book "Pariser Modelle" published by Weber in 1981. Rich pochoir effect on both the furs and gown. Exquisite elegance!! approx. H. 8.625in X W. 5.625in; H. 21.9cm X W. 14.3cm |
