One of the pinnacles of early Art Deco book production and haute couture promotional art. Conceived as a luxurious marketing masterwork for the legendary fashion house of Jeanne Paquin, this landmark album united the three preeminent giants of early 20th-century French fashion illustration: Paul Iribe (1883-1935), George Barbier (1882-1932), and Georges Lepape (1887-1971). The work serves as a stylistic bridge away from the organic curves of Art Nouveau toward the bold, geometric elegance of the Art Deco era.
