Wonderful graphic label on interior of lid featuring dapper dressers and period automobiles.Spectacular tailoring sample counter display for men’s suits and overcoats in the Fall & Winter of 1937-1938. Ferris Woolen Company a subsidiary of Wawak Woolens was originally founded in 1922 in Chicago along with Detmer Woolen Co. Bruner Woolen Co. Mason & Hanson Inc. and Salter & Wolf to supply woolens and trimmings to tailors and department stores across the United States. The companies were known for their high-quality wools at a reasonable price and often incorporated imported wool wool silk blends gabardines and tweeds especially from Scotland Wales France and Great Britain. In 1933 the Wawak Co./Ferris Woolen Co. purchased the exclusive right to all the Detmer Bruner Co. customers West of the Mississippi. They quickly began commissioning and producing display cases reflecting the change and proved very successful with the Ferris Woolen Co. catering to the trade into the 1960s. These sample cases were very expensive to produce and so were most often found in department stores mercantiles and men’s stores which would have these display on the sales floor for two seasons or more often adding or subtracting fabrics as they became available. The samples included with this case offer invaluable textile reference for the colors and fabrics during the era of fashion influenced by the elegance and glamor of Hollywood films and film noir at the time. The styles depicted on the inside of the lid and the drop-down front are reminiscent of the very popular Thin Man fashions worn by William Powell and Myrna Loy at the time.

1923ST20131London: Methuen & Co 1923. 218 x 138 mm. 8 1/2 x 5 1/2". vii 1 280 pp. <br/> ELEGANT DARK BLUE MOROCCO GILT BY BAYNTUN stamp-signed on front turn-in covers with gilt fillet frame stippled volute cornerpieces UPPER COVER WITH LOVELY MINIATURE PORTRAIT of a fashionable lady the painting under glass and surrounded by a gilt-tooled frame raised bands spine compartments with volute frame gilt lettering gilt-framed turn-ins ecru moiré silk endleaves all edges gilt. WITH 21 PLATES OF FASHIONABLE PEOPLE five of these called for one color and 16 EXTRA-ILLUSTRATED seven of these in color one double-page and nine in black & white all with tissue guards. Spine gently sunned to navy blue just a hint of rubbing to joints but still quite a fine copy--clean and fresh internally and with almost no signs of use inside or out.<br/> <br/> This handsomely illustrated look at the London social scene during the Victorian and Edwardian eras and after the Great War comes in a suitably chic binding by the last Victorian bindery still in family hands. Author Ralph Nevill 1865-1933 was a denizen of the world he writes about being the son of one of the leading hostesses of the day Lady Dorothy Walpole Nevill 1826-1913; DNB notes that "family tradition" held that Ralph's father was her close friend Benjamin Disraeli Lord Beaconsfield. Nevill has a wide array of insider anecdotes to share about country house life the pleasures of London society and prominent politicians and journalists. He makes it clear that the Victorian era was preferable to the 20th century and nothing is more drab that the post-war world. The illustrations feature portraits of prominent men landscapes of stately homes and scenes from the balls operas and royal occasions that made up the London Season. The very pretty binding is in the Cosway style made popular by bookseller Henry Sotheran and the Riviere bindery characterized by a miniature painting set under glass on the covers or doublures. Our binding was done by the venerable English firm founded in Bath by George Bayntun in 1894. Among the great English workshops of the Edwardian "golden age" of lavish bindings Bayntun has the distinction of being the only one located outside London's West End to be sought after by bibliophiles. Bayntun was a worthy rival to the likes of Sangorski & Sutcliffe and Riviere & Son the latter being subsumed by Bayntun in 1939. Bayntun of Bath continues to create fine hand bindings for bibliophiles. Unusually the miniature painting in our binding is signed by the artist but we were unable to decipher the signature and the Bayntun bindery did not have any information about the painter's identity.
