[trade catalogs, beauty] Avon Perfume
Avon and Perfections Products, 1935 catalogue
A masterpiece of Art Deco design that keeps on giving. Oblong 8vo, not paginated (c. 120 pages). Leatherette wraps with some crackling and rubbing at joints, soil to the edges and outer pages. A faint tidemark affects the upper edge of the last thirty or so leaves, occasionally on the bottom--but so subtle it hardly shows in the photos. Printed on semigloss magazine stock that makes the colors pop but is also prone to friction transfer. But the graphics are so good, the flaws are easily missed in this beautiful piece with gorgeous all-you-can-eat graphics.
