The Hart Schaffner & Marx logo for men’s fashion was first created by Edward Penfield in 1914 with the trumpeter bearing an upright lance but the next year had turned into a trumpet and would continue on HSM suits until the late 1980’s. Hart Schaffner & Marx was founded in 1887 by Harry and Max Hart Marcus Marx and Joseph Schaffner. By the early 20th century they owned dozens of small garment factories around Chicago and was one of the first tailoring/garment manufacturing firms to become unionized. They continued to grow through the 20th century and by the end of the 1960s had 38 factories and 250 retail stores around the country. The Company continues to operate under the Hartmarx label and is one of the leading men’s clothing wholesalers to this day.

First edition of this remarkably rare and beloved children’s book surrounding the mystery and treasurer hunt for a 19th-century fashion doll in Peterborough NH by a young girl hidden by her ancestor in a secret room. Fashion dolls also called Queen Anne Dolls were often made of wood plaster or bisque with a fashionable hairstyle in flax or wool and dressed in miniature clothes showcasing the latest couture of the day. The most desirable dolls in the 19th-century were the French bisque dolls distributed all over Europe and were originally modeled on teen girls or adult women although these eventually changed over into child like bisque doll babies which would dominate the market from the 1860s onward. Bannon 1895-1963 was inspired to write this work while staying at the famed MacDowell Art Colony in Peterborough NH which carried a legend of a secret room in the MacDowell farmhouse. Original copies of this work have become quite scarce especially first editions. Houghton Mifflin Co., hardcover

194061451New York: Cohama Cravats United Merchants & Manufacturers 1412 Broadway 1940. Atlas folio. 13 x 18 in. 34 pp unpaginated. printed on thick tan paper stock with 21 different tipped-in advertising promotional samples including camera-ready newspaper ads sample window & counter display cards and folded promotional brochures for mailing each to be imprinted with the retailer’s name order book tucked into rear pocket mounted on last leaf. Tan boards plastic-comb binding to spine minor bumping to couple corners some dustsoiling minor chipping to foot of spine still a VG bright exemplar. First edition of this exceedingly scarce sales and advertising catalogue designed to present the 1940 plan by the company for their $ 1.00 men’s cravat ties. Featured are the proposed newspaper ad lines for the six different Cohama Cravats in the Spring & Summer including the Briar Bahama Camelot Rangoon Gamester and Seminole. American tie manufacturing emerged as a significant force at the end of the Jazz Age and through the 1930’s as their popularity grew world wide for their heavy use of colours vivid patterns and breaking away from the more sedate colour palate of the British tie industry. Contributing to the explosion of tie manufacturing in the 1930s and 1940s were the need by many men during the Great Depression and then the War years to change their fashion look by adding a decorative tie rather than buying a new suit or set of clothes. The Duke of Windsor heavily influenced ties styles and wearers by not only developing the Windsor knot but also wearing them with many different types of clothing. Cohama was a trademark of United Merchants which was a textile firm originally founded in 1912 as the Cohn-Hall-Marx Co. merging with United Merchants in 1928 and later clothing chains across the East and South through World War II.

1950211751950. Archive of fashion photography documenting African American women's participation in commercial and editorial modeling from the 1950s through the 1980s a period in which the American fashion and advertising industries remained overwhelmingly centered on white beauty standards and limited Black representation in print media. Working in Cultural / Representational Mode the material illustrates changing presentations of Black femininity glamour and natural beauty across several decades of American fashion culture. The photographs provide visual evidence of evolving aesthetic conventions surrounding race cosmetics hairstyles leisure and commercial image-making during the postwar and Civil Rights eras. Particularly notable are several 1970s images depicting Black models with natural hairstyles and minimal cosmetic styling reflecting broader cultural shifts associated with Black pride movements and changing representations of African American identity in fashion and advertising imagery.<br /> Collection comprises 23 silver gelatin photographs and one color photograph produced by several professional photographers between the 1950s and 1980s. Images include editorial fashion shoots casting and publicity photographs scanned negatives and studio portraiture featuring predominantly Black women alongside several white models photographed by the same studios. Two 1970s editorial images depict a lean Black model with closely cropped natural hair posed in a leopard-print wrap. Four photographs focus specifically on Black women including close-up portraits emphasizing natural presentation and informal styling. One younger woman appears without visible makeup wearing a bandana and t-shirt while another is photographed in a straw hat with hoop earrings and patterned sash. Additional photographs include a Black model posed in a bikini atop the rim of a classical fountain featuring Aphrodite imagery. Four professional photographs and one casting card depict singer and actress Sylvia Vanderbeilt in commercial studio poses. Several scanned negatives portray a Black female model in multiple outfits and poses characteristic of 1970s fashion photography including one sequence featuring both the model and a young Black girl during apparent test shoots. The latest material consists of scanned negative strips from an apparent 1980s fashion session featuring a Black model with a sleek bob hairstyle modeling padded blazers and contemporary commercial attire. Other photographs depict white women in evening gowns fur wraps and casual mid-century fashions including two images by photographer Lee Brian showing the same model posed in mid-length evening gowns amid neoclassical architectural settings one with an elaborate mink shawl. Several photographs bear photographer or studio stamps on the verso including L.W. Ward of Cedar Rapids Iowa and Lee Brian of Palm Beach Florida.<br /> The archive traces substantial shifts in fashion photography and racial representation across three decades of American commercial imagery from heavily stylized mid-century glamour photography to the more natural aesthetics associated with 1970s fashion editorials and Black cultural self-presentation. The inclusion of both editorial and test photography offers insight into the production practices of commercial modeling studios as well as the visual conventions used in presenting Black women to advertising and fashion audiences during a period of gradual but uneven industry integration. Minor wear and light handling marks throughout; photographs otherwise remain in very good condition overall. A visually strong grouping documenting African American representation within postwar American fashion photography and commercial image culture. unknown
