Afternoon Dress.

Original 1913 pochoir by Etienne Drian for La Gazette du Bon Ton, illustrating the latest superior styles. Pochoir(French for stencil), coloured by gouache and watercolour, with different stencils of zinc for each colour.

Original pochoir by the finest illustrators of the day, showing fashions by prominent French designers, for Gazette du Bon Ton (the periodical for the well-to-do), published by Lucien Vogel in Paris between 1912 and 1925 (with a break during World War I) and distributed by Condé Nast. Distributed in the U.S. as Gazette du Bon Genre, both titles translate roughly as Journal of the Good Style. Using the distinctive pochoir style, the latest fashions are worn, and are frequently shown in appropriate settings, sometimes with others also stylishly attired. The grouping, gestures and expressions all provide a narrative of the situation.
