[Rarebooks] FS: Art Deco Fashions

[Clare Murphy]

Gazettes des dames. London and Paris., September and October 1926. 
Illustrated by fashion plates hand-colored in pochoir (by stencil) 
other plates in chromolithography and others in black and white. 2 
volumes. Wraps. Folio (12 x 15"). Very good. There are a total of 20 
pochoir full-page plates in these two journals. The colors and styles 
are exquisite and brilliant, many highlighted in gold and silver. 
Very framable. Lovely for decorating madame's boudoir. The 
descriptive text is in English. The rear panel is missing from the 
September issue.

The pochoir process is very expensive and labor intensive. It was 
initially recognized as the ultimate in printing, but became too 
costly in later years. Fortunately, fine examples of pochoir prints 
still exist today and are highly collectible and valued by 
collectors.For the two- $750.00.
