American Fabrics - Portfolio of Paisleys. A Creative Project for the American Fabric and Fashion Industry

New York, American Fabrics, 1950. First edition, n. d. (1950s [?]); 15 1/2 x 11 1/4; pp. [36]; pictorial wraps in green and white; tissue dust jacket printed in red; illustrated with numerous fabric swatches, drawings, and from photographs; front panel of jacket partially attached to wraps (as published), with some loss of paper; back panel of jacket perished; a bit of wear to edges and corners and a few tiny spots to margins; overall in very good condition. Created by the editors of American Fabrics magazine, the exceedingly-scarce publication was said to "..present the second of a series of answers to 'Creative Starvation.' A superb collection of inspirational ideas relating to the Paisley theme has been arranged for practical application, together with specific suggestions for the use of the Paisley theme by various industries." Launched in 1946 and released quarterly, the magazine would chronicle forty years of the fashion and textile industry of the United States. Among many features, which would make it remarkable for its subscribers, one would be the hand-pasted, luxurious fabric swatches and another - the artistic use of paper stock, fonts, etc. The periodical would cease publication in 1986. Very good .
