[Rarebooks] FS: 1876 Paris Perfumer Booklet for U.S. Centennial

[Joslin Hall Rare Books]

The Parisian Ladies of Fashion to Their American Sisters - Rigaud & Co.

An interesting promotional pamphlet for French perfumes, apparently 
published to coincide with the Centennial Exposition is 1876. The text 
describes the variety of perfumes supplied by the Rigaud firm, and is 
illustrated with drawings of American and French architectural scenes, 
including, on the rear cover, a fantastically inept representation of 
the Statue of Liberty, labeled “Independence Memorial Lighthouse”. The 
perfumers may be forgiven- in 1876 only the torch-bearing arm was 
actually in America, being exhibited at the Centennial Exposition in 
Philadelphia. Uncommon- OCLC locates three examples.

Softcover. 3.5”x5.25”, 14 pages, line illustrations in blue. Minor soil.
