#fromourcollection : a rare personal new year card by #GeorgesLepape for 1927. The cover of the card depicts a young woman à "la garçonne" smelling a rose. The text was printed by deluxe Parisian engraver Maquet. The card bears Georges Lepape's address in New York : The Hotel Brevoort on #fifthavenue run by a French expatriate. #Lepape settled there in October 1926 when #CondeNast asked him to come New York to work for his magazines directly from the US. #fashionillustration #vogue #hotelbreevoort #fashionplate #garconne #fashionhistory
