The magic of dress
A 1911 American advice manual on women's clothing and dress by Grace Margaret Gould, issued by Doubleday, Page & company of Garden City, New York, for a general female readership. The plates are charcoal and wash fashion drawings of single standing or seated women in high-waisted gowns, wide-brimmed hats and long skirts, with light backgrounds and occasional props like a chair, newspaper or balustrade, useful for period costume silhouettes, soft-pencil figure rendering and signed illustrator lettering.
