Bouse de Ratine, Original 1914 Pochoir retailer Journal des Dames, Art Deco French Fashion Print

"Bouse de Ratine à Ceinture Brodée." retailer Antique French pochoir from the Journal des Dames published in Paris, 1914. The pochoir process was a labor intensive technique of producing prints using stencils to apply to the different colors by hand. This is an original pochoir, not a modern reproduction.

"Journal des Dames et des Modes, Costumes Parisiens" was a precursor to the Gazette du Bon Ton and was similarly designed to appeal to the elite of Paris through the arts, fashion, beauty and lifestyle.

The Journal des Dames was more exclusive than the Gazaette du Bon Ton with less than 1,300 copies originally published.
