This hand-colored pochoir print advertises an exclusive Parisian and London hairdressing salon. A fashionable woman wears an ornate blue headpiece adorned with peacock feathers—a marker of luxury. The illustrator employs the decorative linear style of Art Deco, with bold inking and refined watercolor tones typical of *Gazette du Bon Ton*, the luxury fashion periodical that popularized such imagery. The work reflects advertising's growing reliance on caricature and stylized portraiture, descending from 19th-century satirical print traditions. The exotic aesthetic signals the era's fascination with non-Western ornament and luxury goods as status markers for an elite audience.
