illustration and stage design (most notable with puccini on his 'turandot'), the latter found fame slightly later with an exhibition in 1911, and also worked in various fields: the theatre, jewellery, glass and wallpaper design, as well as writing essays and articles for the prestigious gazette du bon ton. an examination of their work in \n la guirlande shows that both artists were at their
