Aberlé presents SHEER ENDURING RAYON STOCKINGS / ALLIED BALLET of COLOR
A beautifully rendered catalog, using color poichoir lithographs and fabric samples to display the newest Rayon stockings and their contributions to the war effort.
4to, heavy card covers with six card leaves [12 pp.]; publisher's coil binding with clear acetate covers. First and only edition, limited to 750 numbered presentation copies, this being no. 36 presented to the M.E. Blatt Co., Atlantic City s Greatest Department Store .
World War 2 era manufacturer's catalog for rayon stockings. The catalog adopts the format of a contemporary Ballet Russes program with the stocking colors inspired by four ballets -- each leaf features a large pochoir colored lithograph by Willard Golovin with smaller color lithographic illustrations on the facing pages and inset fabric samples worked into the designs. The illustrations all have patriotic themes. The last leaf has a movable color chart with rayon samples designated by the names of the ballets.
"When Pearl Harbor became a symbol of perfidy, you gave up silk. When our armies expanded you willingly sacrificed your new-found nylon….We could not and have not failed you. We present in [these] pages the story of an amazing laboratory-improved rayon…. Whether an Air Raid or Red Cross duty this soft brown…fits the occasion."
CONDITION: Near fine; very light wear to edges, acetate covers have typical surface scratches.

About Armadillo & Dicker Books & Ephemera
80 Years of Selling Things People Could Easily Live Without -- but now Online only.*****CONDITION: We are conservative graders. If we say FINE you can count on it. If there are any minor defects [e.g. minor shelf-wear] they will be noted. VERY GOOD means there is light shelf or surface-wear, possibly some light age-toning, maybe a prior owner's inked name inside -- but no significant defects. GOOD means we wish we had a better copy too, but still in collectable condition. Any significant defects will be noted. FAIR usually means the interior is good or better but the covers are heavily worn. POOR means both the interior and the covers are damaged. Again, significant defects will be noted.
