See pieces like it you can buyA George Barbier pochoir fashion plate, "Le Belvédère" (a Worth coat-dress), from the Gazette du Bon Ton. The Gazette set the visual language for fashion illustration for a generation — pochoir let color sit as flat and exact as enamel. No gradient anywhere — every color is a distinct stencil pull, edges crisp as cut paper. Fashion, printed like a jewel.
