La guirlande is a 1919 Paris monthly album of art and literature, printed by François Bernouard with contributions from Umberto Brunelleschi, Jean Hermanovits and Jean Saudé, aimed at a fashionable French readership. The pages pair stylised colour illustrations of women in gowns and boudoir scenes with French verse and prose set in decorative type, with a few Arabic-style ornamental headers and tasselled accessories that a designer could draw on for flat, graphic fashion plates and patterned borders.
