"Any physician will tell you that by inducing profuse perspiration you can reduce flesh relieve any kind of rheumatism skin diseases and many other ailments because it stimulates circulation and eliminates waste products through the pores" page 3. <br /><br />This pamphlet features a woman modeling such products as chin bust and abdominal reducers as well as jackets suits belts and pants. All in glorious black-and-white halftone illustrations.

Printed title in blue and red within an embossed gilt ornamental frame one printed "Notice" from the publisher dated June 1842 49 specimens of embossed cards many tinted some printed all mounted to stiff card stock; and 7 sheets of "Embossed Specimens of Printed Billets" sewn to a stiff printed card. Oblong 4to. Christian Gobrecht's Copy. With a very interesting presentation note from a previous Philadelphia owner Alfred Darrach dated 1928 affixed to the front pastedown identifying the original owner his grandfather as Christian Gobrecht 1785-1844 artist engraver embosser inventor engraver to the U.S. Mint and from 1840-1844 the 4th United States Engraver of the Mint where he was responsible for the creation of several new models and designs including the famous Seated Liberty design which appeared on a variety of American coins from 1836 through 1890. <br/>Gobrecht designed many notable medals coins and dies during his career but he also "invented a speaking doll and later a camera lucida. He also produced engravings for calico printers and dies for bookbinders. He engraved the brass dies for embossing the Morocco covers of the Boston Token from 1831 - 1836 as well as the eagle cover of the Philadelphia Token. Among the medals he engraved were the Charles Willson Peale medal the Franklin Institute medal etc ." - DAB.<br/>A remarkable specimen album in and of itself all the more so for having belonged to one of America's most important engravers. We cannot say for sure but it is entirely likely that if Gobrecht himself did not design many of the dies for this embosser he may have used the album for his own work and possibly removed the cards which are no longer present.
