BARBIER, GEORGE. Falbalas et fanfreluches. Almanach des modes presentes, passees, et futures. Paris: chez Meynial, 1922-1926. Five issues (all published). Wrappers illustrated in pochoir, housed in custom silk clamshell box. 10 inches (25.5 cm). Each issue is 11 pp., plus twelve pochoir plates (for a total of sixty pochoirs across all five volumes). Very small traces of adhesive on the verso of two plates, otherwise a remarkably fine set.
A highpoint of French pochoir illustration, Barbier's Falbalas et fanfreluches is also a witty take on the relationship between fashion and mythology.
