GdBT superb rare triple-size fashion plate for Gazette du Bon Ton "La Cote d'Azur ou La Fete sur La Terrasse". An evening of entertainment on a terrace overlooking the Cote d'Azur in the south of France.
This is the only fashion plate that folded out to triple size. It is a really beautiful study of 20 ladies accompanied by gentemen in the latest fashions designed by the couturiers of Paris in 1915.

 

Original pochoir (French for stencil), coloured by gouache and watercolour, with different stencils of zinc for each colour, by the most important illustrator of the influential fashion journal La Gazette du Bon Ton (Journal of Good Style), published in Paris circa 1915 to illustrate the latest superior fashions. 
 
Original pochoir by the finest illustrators of the day, showed 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.

Triple-page size is 24 x 56cm (9.1/2" x 22")
