Dansons la Capucine (Lets Dance the Capucine)
Robe d'ete et robes d'enfants, de Jeanne Lanvin (Summer dress and children's dresses by Jeanne Lanvin)

Original 1921 pochoir for Gazette du Bon Ton (Journal of Good Style), which showed the latest fashions of eminent Parisian designers. Gazette du Bon Ton was published in Paris by Lucien Vogel, between 1912 and 1925 (with a break during World War I). The latest elegant clothing shown in an appropriate setting provides a charming fashion narrative of the lifestyle of the wealthy at that time.
Pochoir (French for stencil) was a labour-intensive method of printing, with colouring by gouache, watercolour and ink, using a different zinc stencil for each colour to prevent them running together during the printing process, and building up the intensity of colour and nuance of the image by each successive application of stencil.
