Last weekend a dear friend, Jenny, gave me an incredible gift - a complete pattern catalog from 1880. I've been studying it with great interest and costume lust, careful to keep the drool from dripping on the fragile pages, and now, of course, I am enamored with 1880 and want to make about 16 of the pieces shown in the catalog.
I've decided to digitize the whole thing for you, wrapped up into a lovely PDF, but I've never done this before, so while I sort the whole thing out, here are a few choice pages:
I'm still working on cleaning up, cropping, and correcting the images. The original catalog is approx. 14" x 10", with *tiny* print, barely readable on the original. I'm afraid the descriptions of the images, in both French and English, may not survive digitizing, but the pictures, at least, are lovely and telling. This was, like, the Vogue pattern catalog of 1880!
