19505503N.p.: Ministerstvo Pishevoy Promishlennocti 1950. Octavo-sized accordion fold 25 x 18 cm. 24 pages. Illustrated with seventeen color plates by C.B. Popov. First edition. A trade catalogue of Russian liquors issued by the Russian Ministry of Food. The spirits are of all types with a wide range of vodkas but also a rich variety of cordials brandies and dessert liqueurs. The handsome color plates all stand out for their single color backgrounds and the printing process would appear to have been a hybrid combining photolithography and lithography and then colored. Whatever one makes of the Soviet cultural landscape in general it did attain high standards in some fields and in a modest way this trade catalogue is a proud reflection of its aesthetic achievement. Clean and bright within. Textured wrappers with debossed copper lettering and gilt ruling; lightly soiled and with wear and some separation at spine. Good. OCLC locates no copies.

19037827Cleveland Ohio: Cleveland Faucet Co.; printed by A.C. Rogers Co. 1903. Octavo stapled in wrappers 18.5 x 13 cm. 80 pages. Illustrated. Indices of cocktails and drinks and of hardware products. Printed in black red and yellowish brown throughout. ~ Evident FIRST EDITION. A dual-purpose trade catalogue and cocktail recipe book issued by Cleveland Faucet Company makers of bar fixtures hardware and equipment. Seventy cocktail recipes plus additional recipes for tinctures colorings essences and syrups and prepared cocktails for bottling and fruit wines and brandy. In 1883 three Ohio natives Messrs. Collins Weatherhead and Mayer founded Cleveland Faucet Company a brass foundry specialized in a combination pump and faucet. Their "specialties are absolutely unrivaled for utility quality and adaptability to the purposes required of them and have no superiors." Leading Manufacturers and Merchants of the City of Cleveland and Environs. Akron 1886 page 172. Their first trade catalogue was issued in 1885 and a 48-page combined trade catalogue/drinks manual was published in 1897 titled Catalogue B was reissued in 1899 now under the title Catalogue B and Bartender's Guide. Following the 1902 publication of Mixed Drinks the company offered a number of smaller 24 page catalogues with recipes titled Fancy Drinks or Fancy Drinks and Latest Toasts. Not only is Mixed Drinks the most ambitious of these catalogues with nearly twice as many recipes but it is also the most fanciful with illustrations of gnome-like characters throughout the text and on the five-color decorated wrappers. The wrapper cover illustration is positively psychedelic depicting four gnomes in a wooded glen enjoying beer being poured from a pump and is initialed in the print "H. C.". The more traditional rear panel of the wrapper contains images of three of the manufacturer's plants one each for a Carbonic Gas Plant the Pump and Brass Department and the Woodworking Department. But even these are framed in a decorative Art Nouveau botanical motif. Some soiling and spotting throughout; a few leaves creased which appears to have been a printer's error. Light soil to the wrappers; corners bumped. Includes a cancel leaf with information about 1903 prices. Rare. OCLC locates no copies; Romaine page 21 refers to an 1894 trade catalogue by the firm; not in Noling Beverage Literature. Cleveland Faucet Co.; [printed by A.C. Rogers Co.] unknown books

195742918Paris: Societe Paritys / Lebotys 1957. Post binder with 3 brass posts decorative screw tops. Publisher's color pictorial glazed boards blue spine and joints. Board edges rubbed and worn; short split to rear outer joint; inner joints tender paper splitting though cloth reinforcement beneath is intact. Page block foxed occasional foxing/spotting throughout; light offsetting from fabric samples to some pages. Fabric sample generally clean and bright with occasional creasing/fraying. Overall Gd. 97 pp. 16 color fashion drawings; ~ 740 pasted or tipped-in fabric samples. 16-1/8" x 12-1/8" <br/><br/>A mid-century salesman's sample catalogue from the winter collection of Parisian firm Société Paritys a haberdashery and fabric supplier established in 1946 and still in operation today. The fabric samples have been supplied by Lebotys a couture design firm in its own right and highly regarded for the quality of its textiles. As we find record of Lebotys having issued catalogues of its own collections in both the 1930s and 1960s we speculate that the two firms collaborated for a limited time possibly due to continuing post-war shortages and the need to adapt to the rapidly changing clothing market of the 1950s. The late 1950s saw a revolution in French fashion — and by extension Western fashion in general — due in no small part to the influence of material factors underlying the purely aesthetic side of the industry: availability of fabric continuing technological advances in synthetics and the surging post-war economies of America and Europe. The reluctant expansion of haute couture into the ready-to-wear market during the latter half of the century and the increasing reliance on synthetic fabrics to meet the demand would ultimately spell a major shift in the industry one that would impact fashion trends for decades to come. Some fashion houses like Dior whose “New Look” revitalized fashion at the beginning of the decade successfully managed to adapt by issuing couture ready-to-wear lines. Some however even long-established houses survived the war only to be undone by the prosperity that followed. The collaboration here of Société Paritys and Lebotys as well as the fabrics offered and styles displayed leads us to infer that the two firms were likely targeting the growing ready-to-wear market. The fabrics include a variety of silks cottons wools mohair etc. as well as nylon fibranne rayon Rhodia tergal crylor acetate and other “Matieres Synthètiques” often in blends and advertising their washable and/or antiwrinkling qualities. The styles in the illustrations still heavily influenced by the “New Look” emphasize wasp-waisted dresses hourglass silhouettes etc. No copies located on OCLC nor the major French institutions as searched on KVK.

193019955Leicester UK: Cascelloid ca. 1930s. Very good . Oblong 4to. album. Blue leather-covered boards. Contains 29 color photographs all 9" by 6.5" approx. mounted on rectos one each of light-gray cardboard leaves. About very good plus overall. Moderate rubbing and edgewear to boards. Several pages display mild soiling and offsetting from photos. Prints just a bit yellowed but remain sharp vivid and clean. <br/><br/>Beautifully-produced trade catalogue from the Cascelloid "Palitoy" company displaying a wide range of baby dolls and other toys. Several uncomfortable designs of black children with pitch-dark skin date this catalogue at roughly the 1930s when the Cascelloid company was dubbed the "House of Constant Progress" by the industry press for its material innovations with the plastics Bexoid and Plastex. One page features a celluoid model by the noted designer Mary Lucie Attwell a doll named "Diddums." The catalogue also displays the company's offerings of animal dolls die-cast trucks pool toys golf and ping-pong sets rattles pinwheels and more. Needless to say color photography was not the norm at this time and this catalogue comprises a beautiful set of vivid and sharp photographic prints. A truly exceptional example unlike anything we've seen: simultaneously surreal and nostalgic. [Cascelloid] hardcover books
