" Parlons Modes "

Barbier's illustration for the frontis of Chic et Simplicite signed GB. While no definitive reference to Georges Barbier is made elsewhere in the text block of the publication the work is most defintely Barbier's and comparison to a copy of Barbier's work for the 1919 edition of his 'La Guirlande des Mois' bears out that Barbier was actively signing work with flourished initials at the time. This original fashion plate, more than 85 years old.
