This model was photographed for the Vionnet archive in April 1938, see image courtesy of the Musée des Arts Décoratifs. The House model has a different treatment of the shoulder straps which are also fringed. However, the ivory example held by the Metropolitan Museum has identical shoulder straps to this model (accession no. C.I.52.18.4).
