Many graphic artists worked in several related fields, such as
textile design and fashion illustration. Charles Martin, André
Marty, Paul Iribe, George Barbier, and others were able to adapt
their own styles and aesthetic ideals to the needs of the manufacturers
for whom they worked. This fabric is reminiscent of a Barbier fashion
illustration, but seems calculated to appeal to a conservative client.
