A selection of designs produced between 1916 and 1926

Designs by Erté

After securing his first substantial contract with Harper's Bazaar in 1915, Erté's career gained considerable momentum

and he became sought after as a designer, not only of general fashion and illustrations, but also of stage costumes and

sets. Within France, his stage designs included those for Théâtre du Ba-ta-Clan and Folies Bergère, while in the

United States, he prepared designs for George White's Scandals.

Our Greeting Cards

For connoisseurs of Erté's work, we have prepared sets of 15 Greeting Cards displaying a selection of his designs produced between 1916 and 1926 and on the left, we show an example of how these Greeting Cards appear.             Code: E 1916 CS(15) Price: US$75.00

When presented on Greeting Cards, these images are prepared as tipped-on plates - in hommage to the hand-crafted

approach typical of prestige illustrated publications produced in the early decades of the 20th Century. Each card is

hand-finished, with the image presented on White card stock with an accompanying envelope. On the rear of each card

we also present some information about Erté and the profiled illustration. We have left the interior of the cards blank so

that you may write your own personal message.
