This an original 1922 color pochoir print, with silver gilt embellishments, of an illustration of the fashionable dress worn by upper class French women during the period of the First French Empire. (Please note that due to the difficulty of digitally capturing metallic inks we have provided two images of this item. Please see both images.)

Period Paper has obtained a beautiful collection of original pochoir prints of historical costumes from around the world. This rare collection was printed by zincography, a printing process of engraving or etching on zinc plates, and colored in pochoir, a process of hand painting using stencils, or pochoirs, on each image. This painstaking process captures the smallest detail of each costume, making this an extraordinary artistic as well as historic collection of costume images.
