More about this Item
Unearth the glamour and industry of the Jazz Age with this complete digital preservation of the 1924 St. Louis Fashion Pageant Program.
Scanned from the original rare document, this collection captures a pivotal moment when St. Louis was a thriving rival to New York in the garment industry. This is not just a program; it is a comprehensive trade catalog showcasing the Fall/Winter 1924 styles that defined the era.
What’s Inside:
- Exquisite 1920s Illustrations: Dozens of high-quality line drawings and advertisements featuring flapper dresses, cloche hats, Art Deco footwear, and men’s haberdashery.
- Historic Brand Advertising: Full-page ads from legendary manufacturers like Brown Shoe Company (“Dixie Tie”), Curlee Clothing, Rice-Stix, Friedman-Shelby, Rosenthal-Sloan Millinery, and Forest City Mfg.
- The Pageant Program: Detailed synopses of the scenes (“Woman Unadorned,” “The Festival of Cherry Blossoms”), including musical repertoires and credits.
- Genealogical Interest: Complete lists of the models, dancers, musicians, and committee members involved in the production—a treasure trove for St. Louis researchers.
Technical Details for Creatives & Researchers: We have meticulously scanned the original program at 300 DPI to ensure every brushstroke and font detail is crisp. You will receive:
- A fully searchable PDF (approx. 54 MB) for easy reading and text location.
- 105 individual High-Res JPGs (approx. 2550×3509 pixels each), ideal for printing, framing, or using in graphic design projects.
- Note: Due to the high quality, the JPG collection is split into two zip files (approx. 337 MB and 323 MB) for easier downloading.
Why This Collection is Unique: While New York fashion is well-documented, the “St. Louis Garment District” history is rarer to find. This catalog proves the city’s dominance in the “Junior” market and shoe industry. Whether you are researching the nuances of 1924 hemlines, looking for authentic period fonts, or hunting for a family name in the cast list, this digital volume is an essential resource.
