Jubilee Number of the Dry Goods Economist, 1846 1896. [1], 2-205 [1] pp. Profusely illustrated with photographs, chromolithographs, ads etc. Folio, 360 x 270 mm, bound in publisher’s elaborate polychrome binding. New York: The Textile Publishing Co., 1896.
A deluxe ‘Jubilee’edition of this periodical on the textile industry. As is often the case with publications of this sort, it’s the advertisements that stand out for their creative use of typography, design and illustration. Also of note is the design on the back cover, a reverential portrait of Jacquard by his famous loom surrounded by angelic finely dressed women. Upper right corner a little bumped, else fine.
