French "Art Deco" rugby print



I have already posted this print a long time ago... but I like it very much, so here we go again

This is a great artwork (handmade pochoir) by French Art Deco painter George Barbier.

It's called (obviously...) "Rugby" and was published in 1914 in a French arty fashion magazine named "La Gazette du Bon Ton" (approx. 6000 ex.)

You could find one (a replica...) at the Boston Fine Art Museum and another one (an original...) ... in my bedroom...
