GdBT pochoir Garden Party Dress designed by Cheruit - and shown after the garden party, while looking at the damage that had been done to the lawn!

Delightful original pochoir 1913 fashion plate by Pierre Brissaud (1885-1964) for La Gazette du Bon Ton (Journal of Good Style), published between 1912 and 1925 to illustrate the latest superior styles and how they should be worn.

Pochoir (French for stencil), coloured by gouache and watercolour, with different stencils of zinc for each colour. The finest artists of the day, illustrated fashions by prominent French designers for Gazette du Bon Ton (the exclusive 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 were shown in settings that were often accompanied by amusing subtitles (as in this instance).
