Single Issue Magazine. Condizione: Very Good. First Edition. 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. Please see scans. lg6. Various (illustratore).…

Condizione: Good+. On offer is an original, very unique, most unusual 1936 and 1937 manuscript travel diary of two [2] separate trips handwritten by an American woman named Mrs. Brown. Beginning with a trip aboard Zeppelin LZ 129 [in itself a rarity being a handwritten account of a flight on the short lived Zeppelin air service] where Hindenburg Passenger Mrs. Brown recorded details of her 2 day trip from the USA to Europe and then she describes in her unique style of openness and bluntness points of interest, historical facts or racist jabs while on a fantastic tour with her husband. The Browns do not make the usual stops and they travel off the beaten path many times; in the first trip going from New York to Berlin by Zeppelin to Holland to Parimaribo Surinam in South America and Trinidad. The second trip is December 7, 1937 to Japan to Zamboanga in the Philippines to Tin Can Island off Nigeria. A brilliant diarist in many ways she uses a stream of consciousness writing style sometimes making observations from politics, social and sadly many racist as sadly Mrs. Brown all too frequently uses the racist idiom of the day mentioning 'darkies' and repeated use of the 'N' word. That said she really is a very interesting diarist and proves it over the 158 or so pages. Here is a snippet: 'Crossing the line on the Frontier from the ras and Heil Hitler Auf Wiedersehn to the celebration of the Princess engagement everything wide open every kind of instrument and dress eels and fish for sale along the streets they eat them standing everywhere the smell of herring all over town and not a seat at any table.they march and sing the Dutch might be good fishermen but their singing sounds like a flat bottomed boat in a storm.' 'The darkies in the crew from the Dutch possessions are the same happy lot grab a broom sweep as far as they can reach whistling a tune the broom lands someplace but a Dutchman's middle name should be scrub.' 'Went to a cock fight and saw the crowd go mad.' 'Zamboanga Went to the prison where prisoners are sent with good behaviour some have their families with them the most interesting around here is the sea gypsies in their out riggers.' 'Fat Jews in bathing suits just like Atlantic City.' Overall G+. Size: 24mo - over 5" - 5¾" tall. Manuscript.…
