A complete set of this exquisite series displaying fashion in magnificent and imaginative illustrations. The series includes Barbier's depiction of the seven deadly sins (in the volume for 1925). Here one finds a great theme of the Western iconographical tradition at home in Barbier's special world. 'Anger' shows a modish couple quarrelling in a formal garden; 'Envy' is displayed by a maid regarding her mistress as she steps from a Rolls Royce; and 'Gluttony' is depicted as a gourmandise.
Falbalas et fanfreluches was the last of Barbier's books to reflect contemporary life. Its special value lies in the unique way in which it catches the tone and mood of les années vingts.
First editions; 5 vols, 8vo (252 x 170 mm); each issue with colour vignette to title & 12 colour pochoir plates (60 in total), introductory text by Colette; loose as issued in original coloured pictorial wrappers by Barbier, a fine set.
Gaudriault p115.
