Georges Barbier (1882 - 1932) was one of the great French illustrators of the early 20th century. His first exhibition was held in 1911 and shortly thereafter, he rose to the forefront of his profession with commissions to design theatre and ballet costumes, to illustrate books, and to produce haute couture fashion illustrations. Barbier led a group from the Ecole des Beaux Arts who were nicknamed by Vogue "The Knights of the Bracelet"—a tribute to their fashionable and flamboyant mannerisms and style of dress. His work appeared regularly in L'Illustration magazine.
