Title: A Portfolio of Original Dress and Costume Designs
Description: S. l.: By the artist, 1930. Softcover. Eighteen items; various sizes - 11" x 7 1/4" to 14" x 12"; drawings in pencil, ink, and water colors, on Strathmore Drawing boards, poster boards, and artist’ boards.; many of them signed and captioned, i. e. “Ballet Costume,” “Business Woman’s Suit,” etc.; most in near fine condition with minor wear, a few with light spotting and glue residue predominantly to verso; several of them feature fabric designs, rather than dress models; overall in very good to near fine condition. Housed in a colorful tapestry portfolio with four of boards not fitting properly within its margins, as they are a bit larger. A beautiful collection of dress and costume designs, it was, presumably, created by a fashion/graphic design student. While most of the drawings were decidedly Art Deco-inspired, several of the dresses were a bit more whimsical and softer in appearance. Although research has not revealed much about the artist, she was, undoubtedly, quite talented and accomplished.
