  • Hardcover
Philadelphia, 1876. Vol. 69, No. 1 (January 1876) to Vol. 70, No. 6 (December 1876), comprising 12 issues in all, the complete year, bound in black leather and cloth. Octavo. Binding near fine, handsome. Contents are near fine with the usual foxing. All double-page handcolored fashion plates and color needlepoint patterns present. Charles Peterson began his ladies monthly in January 1842 as a down-scale competitor to Godey's Lady's Book. While it was an immediate success, it didn't eclipse its rival until the 1860s. Then for more than a generation it was the leading fashion magazine in America, especially notable after the war for its double-page hand-colored fashion plates. It was published, like Godey's, until 1898.. Black Leather & Cloth. See Description. Octavo.
