1847865311847. FASHION - WOMEN'S - PERIODICAL LE PETIT MESSAGER DES MODES ET LE CONFIDENT REUNIS: TOME VII NOS. 1-17 22-24; TOME IX NOS. 1-13 15-17. Paris: Imprim. Schneider et Langrand 1847 and 1849. Thirty-six issues illustrated with 72 lovely hand-colored engraved plates of which 33 are by Heloise Leloir and 12 by Laure Colin Noel. Quarto. Text: 27-136169-192; 104113-128121-128 pp. 10 1/4 by 7 in. Nineteenth-century binding: quarter black morocco marbled boards gilt title on spine marbled endpapers. The binding is shelfworn with top joint is starting and lower joint tender. The first issue is missing four text pages; otherwise despite some misleading errors in pagination all text is present. Most issues have a timbre royal mark a French duty stamp on one text page but not on the plates. The plates are generally clean and fresh; however there are a few exceptions: 1. - Both plates in Vol. VII no. 1 have old paper repairs on the inner margin and the top fore-corner of one has been clipped; 2. - The two plates in Vol. VII no. 2 have been trimmed 1/4" shy of the fore-edge of the bookblock; 3. - One plate in Vol. IX no. 15 which is the only horizontal image in the entire volume has been trimmed to the top-edge of the image at the fore-edge. LE PETIT MESSAGER DES MODES was a bi-weekly publication appearing on the 1st and 16th of each month comprised of eight pages of text that was to include 22 engraved plates and 3 large patterns in each six-month period. This volume is bound without any of the large patterns and instead an additional plate has been inserted wherever a pattern is called for. These `extra' plates have been supplied from issues that are not included in this volume. Although most issues are complete with text and appropriate plates together there are twelve instances in this volume including the plates-for-patterns substitutions of plates being misbound or of a plate from another issue replacing the expected plate. And so while the plates are lovely and in very good condition it is for these reasons that the volume is offered as is. unknown books

197017267Maryland ca. mid-late 1970s. Blue Wrangler "No Fault" denim jacket size 36. With name "Chan" and zodiac sign - "Pisces" embroidered in yellow above each breast pocket.

1985162708New York: Alpine Fine Arts Collection Ltd 1985. Hardcover. VG/Good- Glossy layer is lifting. Gray illustrated board cover with orange lettering. Green leettering on spine. Color illustrated dust jacket. 312 pp. 68 color and 122 BW photos and 206 illustrations throughout text. The cultural development of India spans a period of more than ten thousand years. From the beginning folk art - as distinct from the art of the royal courts and temple towns - has played a constant and important role. The influence of folk art upon the Indian cultural sphere remains no less potent today than in the past. Indian Folk Art represents the first attempt to present this history: first as an uninterrupted tradition extending back more than twelve millennia and second as the art of the Indian people in the broadest sense - the people who first settled the subcontinent.

1945D3115Holland 1945. Cloth-backed paper over boards 10.25 by 13.75 inches; approx. pp. 200 handwritten and illustrated in black and red ink. Contains more than 50 patterns for women's clothing as well as few for little girls -- including dresses blouses skirts coats and underwear. Boards a bit worn and warped but contents are nice and fresh. Very little text -- all of it in Dutch -- but the patterns are universally applicable. Presumably created by a student the patterns are painstakingly neat and exact and accompanied by drawings of the finished apparel as well as wonderfully adept drawings of ladies modeling them offering complete looks from hat to shoe. Also includes cut-outs of patterns many of them still holding pins laid-in here and there. Lovely legible and careful throughout you can see that they were first drawn in pencil then traced over in ink and the student's ruler and blotting paper are laid-in at the back. Unique and accomplished. A gem. <br/><br/> hardcover books
