The Passing Show 1903 A.B. Wenzell's Illustrated Book Edwardian Fashions

If you specialize in apparel reselling, especially vintage, this antique book is for you. Step into the elegance of the Edwardian era with The Passing Show (1903), a richly illustrated volume by acclaimed artist A. B. Wenzell. More than just a book, this is a visual archive of early 20th-century fashion, perfect for vintage clothing sellers, costumers, and design professionals. Wenzell’s finely detailed illustrations capture the grace, layering, and attitude of the era’s fashion—ranging from high-society summer silhouettes and formal eveningwear to theatrical interpretations of historical dress, such as “A Mediæval Christmas – The Processional.” Each plate serves as a styling blueprint, offering insight into posture, accessory use, and the mood behind the garments. Since this is from 1903, it is not in new condition, but it is still very displayable and readable. Hardcover, 11 x 16 1/2. Edges have wear, some page foxing, no hand writing, binding is in good condition. Very nice for reference and display. From a smoke free home. Thank you for looking ! loc/bdrm/smallcase/floor/62725
