"Good Women Elect Bad Men by Staying at Home on Election Day," illustration to an editorial in the November 1924 "Delineator" magazine.

1924 was only four years after women in the US finally won the right to vote after about a century of steady, painful effort. It was only the second Presidential election women were legally able to vote in.

The "Delineator" was a fashion magazine that covered women's issues as they were understood at the time. It was published by the Butterick Pattern Company and served as a sales vehicle for their sewing patterns. There was clearly some feeling also of civic responsibility, that their magazine should educate and uplift as well as sell fashion designs.

George Barbier, La Gourmandise (The Greedy). 1924

Hand-coloured, plate-signed pochoir from Falbalas & Fanfreluches: "The Gourmand/Gluttony" (The Greedy), part of the set "The Seven Deadly Sins " from the Almanac of 1925. One can nearly breathe in the heightened elegance not just through the elevated ceilings but in the exquisite dresses of the women waiting to be pampered beyond expectation with the best of French Cuisine. As is Barbier's inimitable style, the men are mere props to the confident curves of the New Woman, and from their take-charge poses we connect with the very tenor of their emerging social dominance and confidence. This famous series of illustrated almanacs was produced from 1922 to 1926 only and depicted high-society life in the fashion, social and artistic capital of the early inter-war years in Paris. Each issue contained a small diary and notation section, an introduction by one of the leading social/cultural doyens of the day, a decorative cover and twelve fashion plates (one for each month of the year).
