192047418Milwaukee WI: Adler Compay ca. 1920. Large image mounted on thick card stock 14 x 22 in. Colour lithograph decorative arts & crafts border nice colours varnished some minor edgewear lettering at borders slightly cropped in order for counter display to be cut to standard size very minor soiling lower fore-edge some yellowing from varnish still VG exemplar. A vivid and scarce counter advertising display for Adler Company Collegian men’s suits line. The Collegian line was for college men and any man who cared about perfect style with points of refinement. Although their advertising was not specifically collegiate their advertising campaigns often employed illustrations that conjured idealized college associations implying that if one were to buy their ready-to-wear suits then they too would be successful in college business and the appropriate middle class lifestyle. This advertisement offers a beautiful example of Jazz Age advertising. The Adler Company was founded in 1848 by Solomon Adler in Milwaukee Wisconsin and grew and thrived through the Civil War the Victorian era and eventually would employ over 900 people with nationwide sales in the 1920s over one and one-half million dollars. During the Jazz Age the Adler Company was synonymous with their Collegian line. The company was liquidated after the crash in 1929.

199827481<p>New York:: Metropolitan Museum of Art 1998. First Printing of the First US Edition. A Fine copy in a Fine dust jacket. Cubism and Fashion demonstrates how the fundamental traits of Cubist art were translated into fashion during the critical years from 1908 into the early 1920s and how Cubism has continued to influence designers even to the present. This volume by juxtaposing art and fashion shows how many of the most glittering and elegant dresses of the teens and twenties benefited from Cubist concepts. Significantly this book does not extol rudimentary drawings for apparel by Cubist artists but rather presents a critical study of the most accomplished creations by Poiret Vionnet Chanel and other premier designers who assimilated Cubist principles. Here their work is shown next to art works by Georges Braque Robert Delaunay Juan Gris Fernand Leger Pablo Picasso and other seminal artists of the early twentieth century. Martin argues that the influence of Cubism has been at least as powerful for fashion as it has been for bringing about a new way of seeing in the fine arts. During the teens fashion made its transformation from a full rounded static and exaggerated shell built on the human body to a soft dynamic cylinder revealing the body and reveling in flatness. Includes 147 illustrations of which 132 are in color.</p> Metropolitan Museum of Art, hardcover
