The Diamond Dye Annual, 1910-1911: A Book of Helpful Suggestions
A promotional annual issued by Wells & Richardson Co. of Burlington, Vermont, in 1910 to sell Diamond Dyes to American housewives, mixing dyeing instructions with household advice. Full-page color plates show women in 1910 walking suits, trained dresses and wide plumed hats sorting linens, leaning on a shop counter at a remnant sale, or talking on a snowy terrace, each captioned beneath — useful for Edwardian dress silhouettes, hat shapes and period retail and parlour settings.
