George Barbier’s work has been a regular visitor to these pages. Falbalas et Fanfreluches<\/em> was a series of pochoir print portfolios published from 1922\u20131926, a catalogue of various liaisons and amours with a mildly erotic tone. There’s also some sly humour in the examples below, such as the tiny dogs menacing a dandy in L’Agression<\/em>, and the eyes of the woman in Romance sans paroles<\/em> wandering to the trim backside of the posing sailor (who doesn’t seem so interested in her).<\/p>\n

In addition to being beautiful drawings, Barbier’s title has solved for me a minor conundrum: Falbalas et Fanfreluches<\/em> means “Ruffles and Frills”, and the Abb\u00e9 Fanfreluche<\/a> is a suitably ruffled and frilled character in Aubrey Beardsley’s unfinished erotic novel Under the Hill<\/em>.<\/p>\n
