"Gazette du Bon Ton, 1914 - No. 5, pag. VIII: advertentie Mercier Frères" is an illustration created by Paul Méras in 1914. This advertisement for Mercier Frères, a Parisian tapestry and decor company, features a woman in a light-colored dress, sitting in a chair in an interior setting. The flat, stylized forms and bold colors are characteristic of Art Deco, a style that was gaining popularity in France at the time. This illustration is a prime example of how commercial art could be used to promote luxury goods and create a sense of sophistication and modernism.
