What you’ll see
A poised client and merchant amid stylized poppies; sumptuous fabrics with repeat patterns; elegant headwear and accessories; a balanced, poster-like layout. Up close: hairline contour, neat stipple, and crisp typographic accents. From a step back: serene glamour and rhythmic design.
A richer historical frame
Among the leading lights of Paris Art Deco, George Barbier distilled couture and theatre into luminous plates for journals, portfolios, and luxury houses. Published in 1920, Chez la Marchande de Pavots captures the period’s blend of fashion, fantasy, and exquisitely managed line.
