In the early 20th century, Chicago menswear clothier Hart Schaffner & Marx promoted their wares with a twice-a-year publication known as the Style Book. These colorful 32-page guides told buyers everything they needed to know to remain in fashion. Painted by leading illustrators of the day, the catalogs depict sports attire, evening clothes, and other apparel in evocative scenes that recapture the era's costume history. This original collection presents the very best illustrations from those rare publications, highlighting the work of such masters as Herbert Paus, Edward Penfield, and John Emmet Sheridan.
