Description: The Romance of Perfume. By Richard Le Gallienne. With beautiful color plate drawings by George Barbier. 1928. Published by Richard Hudnut. A wonderful relic of the art deco era and the jazz age. "Doubtless published to commemorate the opening of Richard Hudnut's perfumery in Paris, this lovely book is accompanied by a special pamphlet (in pocket at rear) entitled "At 20 Rue de la Paix," advertising Hudnut's shop. Le Gallienne's text celebrates the cultural and ceremonial uses of perfume throughout the ages. Both the book and pamphlet contain color plates by famous Art Deco artist and costume designer George Barbier. Renowned for his fashion plates in leading contemporary magazines, including the Gazette du Bon Ton and Vogue, Barbier's artistic style is readily identifiable by his elegant, stylized line."

The booklet / pamphlet that is supposed in be in the pocket on the rear board is present and in Very Fine condition. See pictures for the best description of condition.
