[Shoes] 1880s Best & Company Lilliputian Bazaar Shoe Catalog No.15 &
Original Artwork for the Cover.
A booklet called “About Shoes”, issued as Catalog 15 by Best & Co.’s,
Lilliputian Bazaar of New York City, which is actually a catalog of
their latest women’s, men’s and children’s shoes. The illustration for
the catalog cover shows a Renaissance-era dandy riding a horse, holding
large waving banner that says “About Shoes” (undoubtedly a common sight
in the streets of Renaissance-era New York City), all under a lineup of
antique shoes.
Accompanying the catalog is a rough pen & ink sketch on paper of this
deign, and a larger and more finished pen & ink drawing on card stock
with some penciled printer’s directions, and some white inking applied
to simulate cross-hatching. A most interesting trio.
Softcover. 4.5”x5.75”, 19 pages, line cuts. Minor soil, light wear.
With- 5”x6” pen & ink sketch on paper, and 7”x7.75” pen & ink sketch on
card stock. Some light wear and soil. [43410] $175
