Paul Allier 1896-1953) studied at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts under Fernand Cormon. Here he met Georges Lepage and André Marty. Mainly active as a fashion illustrator Allier worked for the magazines L'Assiette au Beurre, Femina, Flirt, Le Jardin des Modes and Vogue. Allier also produced book illustrations and theatre designs as well as designs for pochoirs, mostly published in collaboration with the Galerie Lutetia in Paris. "Allier's style was as distinctive as it was diverse: from the smokily seductive and theatrical (e.g. the Harem Series, 1926) to the boldy illustrative flat Oriental style ("The Seasons," 1928)." (Artophile). Text in French, Light staining on front cover of wraps, these lightly rubbed. L'Automne with light offsetting in margins, not affecting image.
