In creating "La Gazette du Bon Ton", publisher Lucien Vogel's main objective was to approach artists from oustide the world of couture to produce a fashion periodical of the highest quality, catering to the pre-war Parisian elite. Featuring essays, theater reviews, gossip colums and more, and illustrated with refined taste by only the premier artists of the period, "La Gazette" set the standard for the numerous periodicals that were to follow in its glorious footsteps.

This is the complete run of "La Gazette du Bon Ton", a total of seventy issues in sixty-nine fascicles. The artists whose illustrations are featured include: Dufy, Brissaud, Siméon, Charles Martin, Drian, Benito, G. Lepape, Bonfils, Boutet de Monvel, Francis Jourdain, Van Brock, G. Barbier, A. Marty, R. Dammy, M. Taquoy, Brunelleschi, Bakst, Guy Arnoux. In addition to the 556 numbered plates, there are 148 croquis, and the last fascicle of the second year, "Ete 1915", has six further illustrations by Drian.
