Note
The portfolios show a broad range of decorative and graphic arts for the years 1928 and 1929. As the editor Antoine Roche notes in the introduction, Paris is not just the name of a city, it is also the name of a state which exemplifies Modern civilization and, most especially, the best of graphic art that one sees daily. For this two portfolios, Roche selected works that define this "New Decorative Style."
