Le Grand Siècle de l’Affiche · The Pochoir Room
Gazette du Bon Ton — "Le Belvédère" (Barbier)
George Barbier · Gazette du Bon Ton, issue 7, plate 36, 1924
What it is
A George Barbier pochoir fashion plate, "Le Belvédère" (a Worth coat-dress), from the Gazette du Bon Ton.
Why it matters
The Gazette set the visual language for fashion illustration for a generation — pochoir let color sit as flat and exact as enamel.
What to notice
No gradient anywhere — every color is a distinct stencil pull, edges crisp as cut paper.
Fashion, printed like a jewel.
