Single Issue Magazine. Condition: Very Good. Various (illustrator). First Edition. New York: The Butterick Publishing Company, 1925. September, 1925. Cover from a painting by F.Z. Hueston. Folio, wrappers, 84 pp. Light soiling, previous owner's signature at top edge. Very good for this, otherwise really quite better. See scans. Large, "bedsheet" size periodical, at a turning point in its history as a fashion bellwether here in this issue. Fashion sketches are flappery and elongated, as they would indeed also be with the full advent of its art deco period in ensuing years, but this cover is prior to the unique Helen Dryden covers period, and the art and editing is not yet fully awash in deco mindset. In addition to the fashion, coooking and homemaking pages, though, there is serious fiction and full vintage illustration of it here, including Zona Gale's "A Thief in the Night", Irving Bacheller's "The Secret of Being Happily Married", Margaret Culkin Banning's "The Fortune Hunter", "The Weakest Link", by University of Michigan sports legend Fielding H. Yost, and Dixie Willson's "Little Texas". Some of the celebrated artists for these works include Clara Elsene Peck, Joseph Simont, Gerald Leake and Paul Meylan. A tour de force in the fiction & illustration department - and that isn't even the strong point for this Butterick publication, which is a living timeline in the history of American fashion. Nice. Please see scans. lg6.
