January 1911 "The Designer" Ladie's Fashion Magazine

Part of a small collection of early Edwardian era ladie's fashion magazines,which I will be listing the next few weeks.. 

Published by the Standard Fashion Company,New York,  January 1911 issue Edwardian era ladie's fashion magazine,in large 16"X11" format,cover beautifully illustrated cover, signed by artisy James Montgomery Flagg.

This issue contains 155 pages, to include 2 color, 1 tinted,and 1 black and white full page fashion plates fashion plates.Also has many 15 pages of black and white illustrations to include dresses,waists,suits,young miss,children's,and mens fashions.

These wonderful magazines seem to be quite rare,I do believe were in publication a limited number of years.. A true reflection of society,history,and culture of the Edwardian period! They contain many illustrations by important artists of the day.

Staple spine intact,140 pages which are all present, I find 2 pages with clean 1" side tears(NOT fashion plates),and I rate this excellent condition. I have several of these magazines,unbelievable condition,and were all well stored in a dry attic..no musty paper odor!!

There are many black and white ads, but the highlight is the full page back cover ad for Kelloggs Corn Flakes,mule with American Indian..this is excellent!! 

These antique fashion magazines provide a great reference/resource for the antique fashion collector/costumer...
