1970209761970. Archive of nine silver gelatin photographs documenting contestants and winners associated with the Señorita México beauty pageant between 1970 and 1971 preserving visual evidence of Mexican beauty culture and national representation during a period when the competition selected participants for major international pageants including Miss Universe Miss World and Miss International. The photographs reflect the cultural sphere of twentieth-century Latin American pageantry illustrating ideals of femininity regional identity glamour and public performance within nationally organized beauty competitions. By presenting contestants from multiple Mexican states in highly staged ceremonial settings the archive documents how beauty pageants functioned as both entertainment and symbolic representations of modern Mexican womanhood for domestic and international audiences.<br /> <br /> Archive consists of nine black-and-white silver gelatin photographs ranging in size from approximately 6 x 3.5 inches to 5 x 7 inches. The images depict contestants and winners from various regions of Mexico including Chihuahua Sinaloa Veracruz Nayarit and Aguascalientes. One 1971 photograph captures a contestant from Aguascalientes reacting with visible excitement apparently during finalist announcements or judging proceedings. Other photographs show crowned winners wearing ceremonial sashes capes and tiaras while posing formally for photographers or receiving congratulations from spectators dressed in evening attire. Several images document crowning ceremonies in which male officials in suits place crowns upon contestants before assembled audiences. The photographs emphasize pageant staging formal dress regional representation and public celebration while also preserving details of hairstyle fashion and ceremonial presentation associated with Mexican beauty competitions of the early 1970s. Most photographs retain the photographer's stamp on the verso reading "Archivo - Alejandro Guzman Mayer."<br /> Produced shortly before Señorita México evolved into the modern Miss Mexico organization these photographs document an important transitional period in the internationalization of Mexican pageantry and media culture. During the late twentieth century national beauty competitions increasingly became platforms through which countries projected modernity fashion tourism and national identity onto global stages. The archive preserves visual documentation of those processes through formal portraiture and candid ceremonial moments involving contestants from across Mexico. Minor edge wear throughout. Overall very good condition. Cohesive photographic archive documenting regional representation and beauty pageant culture in modern Mexico. unknown

Perfect bound, spine is intact and unblemished but appears somewhat fragile due to the age and size of the book. Shouldn't be handled roughly. "Lavishly illustrated, this book shows how the Aschers united elements from the complex worlds of fabrics, art and fashion, providing fashion designers with a constant flow of inventive textiles from the immediate post-war years until today. Art for fabric, Zika Ascher's liason with artists in the later 1940s which produced a remarkable series of screen-printed head squares, is investigated and the works are illustrated in color for the first time. The list of notables who designed these squares reads like a roll call of mid twentieth-century art, and included Christian Berard, Alexander Calder, Andre Derain, Barbara Hepworth, Marie Laurencin, Ben Nicholson, Graham Sutherland and Feliks Topolski. Four immense printed linen wall panels of 1948 by Henry Moore and Henri Matisse represent the adventurous extremes to which Ascher took this artist/producer venture. Fashion begins with fabric. This part of the Ascher story highlights the firm's output from the 1940s. Illustrious designers including Hardy Amies, Balenciaga, Capucci, Cardin, Dior, Fabiani, Givenchy, Madame Gres, Lanvin-Castillo, Yves Stint Laurent, and Mary Quant were supplied with selections of printed and woven textiles, which were the starting points for their modish clothes. Full-scale fabric samples from the Ascher records are reproduced, alongside photographs of models wearing designer garments in the same materials, together offering a uniqe view of the varied used of trend-setting fashion fabrics...... 263 pages.
