Wraps

Wraps. Near Fine. Taxidermy and fur garments trade catalogue, with explanatory material on sources, manufacturing, styles and uses of the garments and other products. A highlight is a whole section devoted to "Roosevelt African Trophies". N.d., circa 1910. 4to. 26.5 by 20 cm. 46, [1] pp. The cover comes across as very modern, with a close up photo of fur that somehow reads as modern and thus gives the initial impression that the brochure is of more recent vintage than in fact it is. With large photos of the fabrication process, in addition to photos of non-model human models wearing the coats, and of articles shown without models. Also many testimonials.
