This is an extremely rare and early Vogue Pattern Book. These Vogue Pattern magazines were sold separately in a much smaller circulation and are very difficult to find. We rarely see them, they are extremely scarce.


The ads in these beauty books from this period are wonderful illustrated beautiful pages. There are a lot of illustrated lingerie and beauty themed advertisements, the fashion illustration is exceptional.


Very good condition - all pages intact and tight to staples, light creasing to cover, minimal wear overall.

Our Covid Virus Plan - March 2020

We are still trading. We are still posting sales.  The post office has advised, as an essential service, that it will remain open. There are also extra cargo planes to keep up with demand, and couriers such as FedEx and DHL have increased capacity.

We have lots of packaging in stock, we started self isolating in early March and we have a new, very stringent cleaning routine in place.

We have thousands of magazines close to us in our archive and office and we also have many more in boxes in storage. Any stock we retrieve is being handled with gloves.  All of our stock is already sealed, as all our vintage magazines are stored in individual archive sleeves, in acid-free boxes, and in climate-controlled art storage.

The world has changed and it will continue to change in profound ways that we cannot fully imagine.  We have no other income and we really appreciate any sales we make that at this time. As we start this long path of isolation and spend more time cut off we are, in a small way, a little excited about the idea of being able to provide reading material and rare magazines for people all over the world. With love from all of of us at this very difficult time. Stay safe. xxx
