Vogue called upon the talented French illustrator Pierre Brissaud, who had a special knack for drawing fashion in interiors, to dream up a cover for the Spring Shopping Number of March 15, 1924. The artist seemed to have taken inspiration not from the Paris collections featured within, but from “Shopping in the Side Streets of New York”—a “Vogue-conducted tour,” in words and sketches, of small specialty shops. “Not so much the kind that are catholic in their tastes,” noted the author, “as those that are kept by people who know one line to fanaticism.” In Brissaud’s charming drawing, set in a bijou boutique, a fashionable and obviously delighted customer happily tests umbrellas and painted parasols; the latter, at the time, were all the rage in Palm Beach.Vogue Cover by Artist George Wolfe Plank, originally published on April 19231000 Piece Jigsaw PuzzleFinished Puzzle Size: 19.25"x26.625"Linen Style Finish to reduce glareMade in USARecommended Age: 13+ Years

Pierre Brissaud (1885-1964) was a French fashion illustrator whose early 20th century work seems to be his best-known. Some biographical information can be found here. That body of work mostly appeared in the publication Gazette du Bon Ton (1912-1925). Its color illustrations were produced using an elaborate stencil procedure called Pochoir where each color required its own stencil and perhaps special attention in deployment sequencing. This suggests that results might appear somewhat rigid. But Brissaud and other Bon Ton artists did a pretty good job of avoiding that effect. Below are examples of Brissaud's illustrations. Click on the images to enlarge slightly. Gallery "On aurait pu nous inviter aussi ..." - Gazette du Bon Ton - 1914 It looks like Brissaud first prepared a drawing in ink establishing lines and black areas. Then the stencils were outlined and cut. I can't explain how subtle effects such as the pink cheeks of the women at the left were created because I know little about printmaking. "Vive Saint-Cyr!" - Gazette du Bon Ton - 1914 Another example, this with outstanding color-and-shading features. Hard to see the background details, but there are French soldiers with shouldered arms marching by. Saint-Cyr is where France's military academy is located. "Rentrons" - Gazette du Bon Ton - May 1920 A breezy, postwar day where stripes are worn. "L'entrée en scène" - 1920 "Que c'est bon!" - Gazette du Bon Ton - 1921 Another sun-shade tour de force. "Tu vas trop vite, Maman" - Gazette du Bon Ton - 1922 "You're walking too fast, Mother." I'm not sure what the smoke is doing there unless the setting is near the Gare St.Lazare's tracks. Vogue cover - 15 June 1923 Not a pochoir. Vogue cover - 15 May 1925 That said, the effect remains similar to his pochoir work. Wedding reception - 1930 Probably the media were pen-and-ink and either colored inks or watercolor washes. Though I can't totally rule out Brissaud doing a pochoir original as the basis for conventional reproduction.
