This is a hand coloured and plate-signed pochoir print from Gazette du Bon Ton (1924-5 edition, Plate 56). This is one of the last works Barbier would produce for the Gazette before it transformed into Vogue Magazine. Notice how the pearls, oriental influence, patterned elegance and theatrical presentation remain unchanged during the past 10+ years that Barbier had served as one of the world's top fashion illustrators and harbinger of the decades to come.
