Description: Vintage 'American Fabrics' Magazine, Number Five, Winter 1948Published by Reporter Publications, New YorkWith fabric swatches, tipped in plates and insertsProfusely illustrated, color photography, vintage advertisingA remarkable piece of fashion, textile and graphic design history. The slogan of the magazine is: Fashion begins with the Fabric.Oversized, softcover, approx 14.5" x 11" very heavy weight paper. Interior has 158 high quality pages.Cover Design: from XVI Century India Cotton, from the collection of the Metropolitan Museum of ArtPlease see my photo of the table of contents page to see all that is in this outstanding issue of this 1948 magazine. Samples of the fabric being advertised found in some of the ads-the cost today of doing something like this would be enormous. Very special to find this marketing technique.Condition is very good with some roughness on the spine and the edges of the spine. From a pet free and smoke free home-the magazine has no odor. There is one other ebay seller with this magazine-not as good condition as my magazine and asking much more than I am.
