Tissus et nouveauts 1912
A French-language dry goods and dress fabrics trade catalogue issued in Montréal by A. & H. Lionais in 1912, aimed at retailers, dressmakers and their customers. Halftone photographs and line drawings show women modelling hobble-skirted day dresses, tailored blouses and wide plumed hats, often full-length against plain studio panels, with coarse newsprint screens and heavy blacks that suit high-contrast cutouts, silhouettes and period fashion-plate collage.
