‎The Delineator / September 1925 Issue / Irving Bacheller / Zona Gale / A.S.M. Hutchinson / Fielding H. Yost / Clara Elsene Peck / Joseph Simont / Paul Meylan / Gerald Leake / Fall 1925 Flapper Fashions‎

‎New York: The Butterick Publishing Company 1925 New York: The Butterick Publishing Company 1925. September 1925. Cover from a painting by F.Z. Hueston. Folio wrappers 84 pp. Light soiling previous owner's signature at top edge. Very good for this otherwise really quite better. See scans. Large "bedsheet" size periodical at a turning point in its history as a fashion bellwether here in this issue. Fashion sketches are flappery and elongated as they would indeed also be with the full advent of its art deco period in ensuing years but this cover is prior to the unique Helen Dryden covers period and the art and editing is not yet fully awash in deco mindset. In addition to the fashion coooking and homemaking pages though there is serious fiction and full vintage illustration of it here including Zona Gale's "A Thief in the Night" Irving Bacheller's "The Secret of Being Happily Married" Margaret Culkin Banning's "The Fortune Hunter" "The Weakest Link" by University of Michigan sports legend Fielding H. Yost and Dixie Willson's "Little Texas". Some of the celebrated artists for these works include Clara Elsene Peck Joseph Simont Gerald Leake and Paul Meylan. A tour de force in the fiction & illustration department - and that isn't even the strong point for this Butterick publication which is a living timeline in the history of American fashion. Nice.

Wood."</p> <p> First Edition. "This volume was originally intended as a birthday present to Sir William Osler by one of his old Montreal students and by another American ‘pupil' in a far different sense. Too late for the festal ceremonies in honour of his seventieth birthday it was in the hands of the publishers when less than five months later December 29 1919 the ‘Chief' was taken from us; but the verses herein collected had already passed through his hands and met with his approval" p. vii. Wood a noted ophthalmologist and comparative anatomist had served as a clinical clerk under Osler while a medical student at McGill and the two enjoyed a lifelong friendship enlivened by their mutual interest in book collecting. Garrison of "Garrison-Morton" fame and medical historian was another friend who shared Osler's bibliographical interests; after Osler's death he revised Osler's Silliman Lectures for publication as The Evolution of Modern Medicine.
