Fall and Winter, 1890-91 Fashion Catalogue / H. O'Neill and Co.
A seasonal mail-order fashion catalogue issued by the New York dry goods house H. O'Neill and Company for fall and winter 1890-91, aimed at retail customers ordering garments, trimmings and millinery by post. The 735 wood-engraved cuts isolate bodices, cuffs, collars, chemisettes and trimmed hats against blank grounds, with dense hatching for drapery and fine repeated linework standing in for lace, braid and embroidery, giving designers ready-cut apparel silhouettes and small ornamental border patterns.
