Gazette du Bon Ton [Magazine of Good Taste] was a prestigious fashion and design magazine, published in Europe and America from 1912 to 1925. Its founder was the French journalist and publisher Lucien Vogel (1886-1954); among its publishers was the famous art dealer Paul Cassirer (1871-1926).
Unlike other fashion magazines of its time, the Gazette du Bon Ton was marketed as an exclusive magazine for a refined audience, printed on high-quality paper, and containing many impressive illustrations (color pochoir prints) – including works by the greatest fashion and haute couture designers of the early 20th century: Jacques Doucet, Jeanne Paquin, Paul Poiret and others. The magazine employed many Art Deco artists and illustrators, including George Barbier (1882-1932), Bernard Boutet de Monvel (1881-1949), and Pierre Brissaud (1885-1964).
This lot comprises four issues from 1914 (issues 1, 2, 4 and 6) featuring fashion articles with small in-text illustrations, and thirty-seven plates (numbered) with large illustrations. Missing four plates (two from issue 1 and two from issue 2).
Number of pages varies between issues. Loose leaves (originally unbound), in the original paper covers. Approx. 25 cm. Good-fair overall condition. Stains. Blemishes (mostly minor). Worn and blemished covers, with open tears to edges and spines.
Enclosed is a plate from another issue and three double-page spreads.
