La Marseillaise
Description
An elegantly dressed young woman wearing a blue dress and veiled hat plays a record on an old gramaphone. The song is 'La Marseillaise', the French national anthem, indicating French patriotism. This is an original pochoir illustration that specially accompanied a rare war issue of La Gazette du Bon Ton, 1917.
