1920 Fashions F/altman & Co

by B. Altman & Co.

Dover's extensive line of rare catalog reprints offers fashion and costume historians an outstanding source of authentic records of vintage fashion. This compilation represents another valuable addition to the list, with selections from hard-to-find fashion catalogs published by the wellknown but nowdefunct B. Altman & Company. Over 700 illustrations, detailed descriptions, and prices for a vast array of upscale women's clothing and accessories appear here: knitted sportswear, sophisticated satin evening dresses, one-piece bathing suits of wool jersey with parasols and rubber bathing caps, chic felt cloche hats, smart shoes ranging from sporty buckskin oxfords to satin slippers and pumps, and much more. Profusely illustrated and teeming with detailed information, this catalog represents not only a first-rate record of the everyday fashions of the late 1920s but an intriguing look at the mailorder advertising of the era.
