COLLECTORS ITEM Large Size Madame Weigel Patterns Catalogue April 1940
$150 Negotiable
SHIPPING OFFERED
This is an incredibly rare original large format 38cm by 28cm Madame Weigel's Paper Patterns catalogue dating from April 1940. It has 24 pages including the illustrated pale green paper covers and it sold for 1d (one penny) at the famous Mark Foy's department store in Liverpool Street Sydney.
The inside pages have dozens of lovely little detailed illustrations of all the Madame Weigel patterns that were available in April 1940. There are designs for babies, girls, boys, 'maids', youths, ladies and men with underwear, nightwear, jackets, coats, suits, blouses, skirts, uniforms, work wear, beach wear, sportswear, day, evening and wedding dresses, cute fancy dress outfits for children, hats, bags and more.
Madam Weigel was a pivotal figure in Australian home dressmaking and design history and this example of one of her actual pattern catalogues is an important historical artefact. You see her magazines for sale and I have seen a few downloads of the large catalogues like this being sold online but I have never seen another actual hard copy of a catalogue for sale anywhere. This is a real find for a collector or museum.
The catalogue is now over 70 years old and is a piece of ephemera that wasn't designed to last but it still remains in one piece. There is age related wear and tear but nothing tragic. The green paper covers and first 2 inside pages are detached part of the way along the spine and there are marks and stains particularly on the covers, varying degrees of paper browning on the pages and a corner torn off one page. There is also a fold mark across the middle as the previous owner had stored the catalogue folded in half due to its large size.
Please examine the photos carefully and contact me if you have any questions. Pick up from Kensington NSW 2033 in Sydney Eastern Suburbs.
