Footnote
Note: George Barbier was one of the great French illustrators of the 20th century. His work epitomised the Art Deco period and embraced theatre and ballet costume design, jewellery, glass and fabrics as well as illustrations of haut couture costumes and books. Another leading illustrator working in Paris at the same time was Georges Lepape, and examples of his work are also included in this lot.
