La guirlande is a 1919 Paris monthly album of art and literature, published by François Bernouard with contributions from Brunelleschi, Hermanovits and Saudé for a French literary and fashionable readership. Its pages pair French prose with flat, stylised colour illustrations: a Jazz-age woman with a folding fan, a silhouetted dance floor seen through a magnifying glass, a car in a bold outline, and a bobbed figure in a garden, offering designers a clear model for bold outline, flat colour and Art Deco fashion graphics.
