The Queen of Fashion Paper

The McCalls Co. The Best Ladies' Fashion Journal Catalog

16 pages

This listing is for an original copy of a rare 1894 February edition of The Queen of Fashion, a mail order pattern catalogue from the McCalls Co., New York. The original catalogue was a subscription service highlighting fashion patterns for mail-order purchase. Originally, the mail-order patterns cost $0.10 a copy. The original catalogue is in fair condition and shows some staining, foxing and tape residue. The paper at some time was folded in half and there is staining and damage in this area. Some of the pages have split and there is small sections of paper loss. This is a 16-page catalog (this edition is missing parts of 2 pages) consisting of patterns of the latest fashions that were for sale from McCalls. These original monthly catalogs are great for identifying antique patterns and getting ideas for those wishing to create fashions inspired by this time period. Actual patterns were and are not included in this catalogue.
