A little note about this talented artist: Romain de Tirtoff was a Russian-born artist/designer who, as a young man, moved to Paris where he was later commissioned to design a monthly cover for Harper's Bazar (which he did and started working for HB from 1915 to 1937) and was also involved in designing theatre, opera and ballet stage sets, costumes and many others.
