Through these prints, La Gazette du Bon Ton readers were offered glimpses of upper class life, manners, social environments, and leisure pursuits. As such, the Gazette du Bon Ton illustrations are a unique visual record of fashion and high society in early 20th century France, from the last years of the Belle Epoque to the dawn of the Art Deco era.

Allan Kohl, Visual Resources Librarian, has selected and digitized these images from issues of La Gazette du Bon Ton housed in the Special Collections of the Minneapolis College of Art and Design Library.
