As a periodical, it was designed to be both expensive and exclusive. It appeared about ten times a year and appealed to the urban, well-bred leisure class of the jazz age. As a publication, the pages and prints were loose (not bound) and were enclosed within a stiff cover. The articles concerned entertainment with emphasis, on travel, theater, sports, restaurants and haute couture fashion. The Gazette attracted may of the leading artists of the period to design plates for the publication featuring elegantly dressed women and men sometimes in a whimsical or fanciful setting. The latest creations were displayed from the top Paris fashion houses - Lanvin, Worth, Paquin and Poiret. Illustrations in the Gazette appeared both in the text and as separate plates or planches. Croquis plates were mainly used for new dress design illustrations. The planches were done in the pochoir (hand colored stencil) process and were highly coveted as decorative prints. The Gazette was able to obtain many of the top art deco artists to illustrate the publication including George Barbier, George Lepape, Raoul Dufy, Thayht, A.E. Marty, Charles Martin, Drian, Pierre Brissaud and others. The celebrated artists were also known in other areas of the art world as painters, illustrators, poster artists, fashion and costume designers, etc. The Gazette maintained an image of the carefree European Continental lifestyle of the era before the next world war. It is estimated that about 2,000 issues were published each year. Many were lost or destroyed.. Complete sets are very rare and the prints enjoy a strong appeal for decorating and collecting. Plates from the Gazette are often reproduced in catalogs, calendars and advertisements to symbolize the art deco and jazz age period before the depression. There are also reproductions made.
