1915

Raphael Kirchner met Robert Boss, an English art dealer, for which he executed numerous works displayed at the Bruton Galleries in London, and reproduced as prints

The English publisher of playing cards John Waddington chose some subjects from the Bruton collection to illustrate some packs of cards

1915/
1917

Many illustrations and plates by Kirchner were enclosed in the magazines "The Sketch" and "The Illustrated London News", both published in London

The "Kirchner Girl" became the model to imitate for every English woman: they copied her coquettish way of dressing - black silk stockings were the ultimate in fashion - and they abandoned the gaudy frills and constrictive corsets to make way for the diet mania
