Fashion Plates [Jazz Age Educational Pamphlet]

New York: National Tuberculosis Association. Very Good-. 1925. First Edition. Paperback. B&W Drawings; 8vo 8" - 9" tall; 16 pages; 1925 National Tuberculosis Association, New York. Slim octavo sized paperback in pictorial wraps with saddle stapled binding. An unusual, toungue-in-cheek, educational pamphlet of the jazz age. It features 7 fashion designs for the "smart-set" rendered by Gould and described from the prose of Cliff Goldsmith. Each fashion design composed of the healthy living componenets presumed to keep tuberculosis at bay. For example gowns are made of water, of fresh air, of fruits, milk and sleep. Artfully done, this unusual and playful piece is not represented in any scholarly library collection, nor can we fund reference of it in any archived newspapers of the period. Smudged ink stamp of the Philadelphia Tuberculosis Society at the base of the front and rear covers. Mild shelf soiling to covers and trace rust to the binding staples. Rare VG- to VG .
