Doten and Constance Boulard, published by Harper & Brothers Publishers in 1953.

This is a detailed, copiously-illustrated window into the world of high fashion, circa the early 1950's, put together by the owners and managers of the Doten-Boulard Fashion Studio, and Illustrated by a bevy of some 23, at that time, notable artists in the business of fashion drawing, such as Carl Wilson, Alvin Pimsler, Dorothy Hood, and Margaret Sommerfield. From authors' Preface, "This book sets forth the essentials of fashion drawing, illustrated and described in the simplest and clearest form at our command. The pages TELL how fashion art is done, and SHOW how to do it. All important information on materials, methods, and techniques are here. [This book] will serve as a guide to those who are interested in fashion art as a career, or it may be used and referred to as a trained fashion artist uses a well-kept notebook. . Personal ingenuity and inspiration will result in an individualized style and technique, so important in the world of commercial art today. .[The authors'] experience has enabled them to prepare a book which they hope will be useful to the established fashion artist as well as a practical help to the beginner". This offering is a MUST HAVE/SEE for any student or devotee of the fashions in America, and the world at large, really, in the 1940's and 50's.
