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
1934180258Japan: 1934. A last-ditch attempt to repair Anglo-Japanese relations A well-preserved photo album presented by the Japanese government to members of the Barnby mission. This delegation was "unofficial and supposed to deal solely with commercial issues but the Japanese government and media treated it as if it had a political purpose much to the embarrassment of the British Embassy" Cortazzi p. 141. WorldCat lists no other examples. After the invasion of Manchuria and Japan's withdrawal from the League of Nations in 1933 a pro-Japanese group in Britain centred on Neville Chamberlain attempted to repair relations between the two countries. The group was led by Colonel Lord Barnby the former president of the Federation of British Industries and staffed by representatives of the Iron and Steel Federation and the banking firm Seligman Brothers. Officially its goal was to investigate business opportunities in the new colony but as the Japanese ambassador Matsudaira Tsuneo wrote "its real aim is to promote friendly relations between Japan and Britain and between Britain and Manchukuo" Nish p. 19. The delegation was greeted by an audience with the emperor much to the horror of the British ambassador Robert Clive who suspected that their friendliness was simply a ruse to persuade the British to "accept a subordinate position in East Asia" Cortazzi p. 142. The mission caused such a stir that it was debated in parliament on 7 November 1934 where Viscount Cecil of Chelwood asked whether the Japanese government had been properly informed of its non-political nature. The first photograph shows the mission meeting with the Japanese delegation and the final photograph shows the interior of a railway car. There are also many photographs of traditional Japanese sports and performing arts as well as the scenery of famous places like Nara Hakone and Kyushu. Oblong folio. With 60 gelatin silver photographs landscape or portrait approximately 105 x 152 mm mounted recto and verso on grey card with captions in English. Original patterned brocade white thread musubi-toji binding spine ends capped with patterned brocade gilt-speckled endpapers gilt edges. Brocade fresh a little frayed at edges a few leaves sometime strengthened with tape at the gutter photographs bright with a little toning and silvering at edges: a very good example.

19361714361936. SOVIET TRADE CATALOGUE. Kolbasy i myasokopchenosti. Sausages and smoked meats. Soviet Union. Glavnoe upravlenie miasnoi promyshlennosti. 3 volumes. 1: Livernyye i krovyanyye kolbasy. Liverwurst and Blood Sausages. 32 pp. 1936. 2: Kopchenyye kolbasy. Smoked sausages. 68 pp. 1937. 3. Zil'tsy i studni. Brawns and Aspics. 32 pp. 1937. Illustrated throughout. Oblong 8vo 146 x 214 mm. publisher's blind-stamped wrappers. Moscow; Leningrad: Pishchepromizdat 1936 & 1937. These three surreal homages to the sausage are a modest forerunner to the massive work produced in 1938 by the same publisher. While far smaller the plates each with an individual sausage still have a somewhat surreal quality. While they do not have the avant-garde sensibility of Telingater's ball bearing catalogue or Piet Zwart's wire catalogue these odes to the sausage can certainly lay claim to a place in surrealist literature. These are rare books and are not listed on OCLC. unknown

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.
