Essentially a tailor’s pattern guide representing on six sheets the uniforms of the French Army, Navy and Air Force, including Full-Dress. The style of the grisaille illustrations being very much of the Thirties. Inside the lower panel of the wraps, Darroux list prices for bespoke civilian and military clothing. Interesting to note that the address label, the sender being L’Homme presumably a fashion magazine - Darroux given as the editor, lists two office addresses, one in Paris - “Zône Occupé” the other in Lyon - “Zône Libre”.
