Neuestes Modealbum für Herbst- und Winter-Saison 1912–13 [Latest Fashion Album for the Autumn and Winter Season 1912–13]
[n.p., probably Germany, 1912]. 8vo. 20x11.5 cm. Unpaginated (16 pp.) Staple-bound.

Rare early twentieth-century fashion catalogue issued for the 1912–13 autumn and winter season. Illustrated throughout with full-page monochrome plates depicting contemporary men's and women's outerwear, tailored suits, sporting attire, and winter fashions, including ski costumes and formal dress. Several pages incorporate decorative vignettes and heraldic devices, while the embossed wrappers feature fashion illustrations and department-store architecture.

A charming example of pre-First World War commercial fashion ephemera, documenting middle-class European dress immediately before the dramatic stylistic changes brought about by the war.

Original embossed pictorial wrappers. Very good condition
