Fashion in the age of Marcel Proust (1871-1922): this list includes well illustrated promotional catalogs, some with fabric samples, related to French fashion c. 1890-1930. Especially rich in clothing for men, both made-to-measure and ready-to-wear, the selection presents stylish choices from the Belle Époque to the 1930s.
Caricature:
A few of the promotional brochures use caricature as an eye catching element, including a shoe shop catalog with images of contemporary actors--such as Sarah Bernhardt.
