1958Best.-Nr. 42919Paris: Societe Paritys / Lebotys 1958. Post binder with 3 brass posts. Publisher's pictorial glazed boards red cloth joints. Light extremity wear to boards; bumping to upper corner of front board; short split to front and rear joints. Page block lightly foxed foxing/spotting scattered throughout. Few white nylon fabric samples discolored by paste beneath. Fabric samples otherwise clean and bright with only minor occasional creasing/fraying. Overall VG. 80 pp. 12 color fashion drawings; ~590 pasted and tipped-in fabric samples 16-1/8" x 12-1/8" A mid-century salesman's sample catalogue from the winter collection of Parisian firm Société Paritys a haberdashery and fabric supplier established in 1946 and still in operation today. The fabric samples have been supplied by Lebotys a couture design firm in its own right and highly regarded for the quality of its textiles. As we find record of Lebotys having issued catalogues of its own collections in both the 1930s and 1960s we speculate that the two firms collaborated for a limited time possibly due to continuing post-war shortages and the need to adapt to the rapidly changing clothing market of the 1950s. The late 1950s saw a revolution in French fashion — and by extension Western fashion in general — due in no small part to the influence of material factors underlying the purely aesthetic side of the industry: availability of fabric continuing technological advances in synthetics and the surging post-war economies of America and Europe. The reluctant expansion of haute couture into the ready-to-wear market during the latter half of the century and the increasing reliance on synthetic fabrics to meet the demand would ultimately spell a major shift in the industry one that would impact fashion trends for decades to come. Some fashion houses like Dior whose “New Look” revitalized fashion at the beginning of the decade successfully managed to adapt by issuing couture ready-to-wear lines. Some however even long-established houses survived the war only to be undone by the prosperity that followed. The collaboration here of Société Paritys and Lebotys as well as the fabrics offered and styles displayed leads us to infer that the two firms were likely targeting the growing ready-to-wear market. The fabrics include a variety of silks cottons wools mohair etc. as well as nylon fibranne rayon Rhodia tergal crylor lurex viscose imitation fur and other “Matieres Synthètiques” often in blends and advertising their washable and/or antiwrinkling qualities. The styles in the illustrations still heavily influenced by the “New Look” emphasize wasp-waisted dresses hourglass silhouettes etc. No copies located on OCLC nor the major French institutions as searched on KVK.

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.

1847Best.-Nr. 865311847. 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
