Zustand: Fair. Minneapolis: Welander's Cutting School and Tailor Institute, circa [1900]., [1900]. Fair. - Small quarto, 10-5/8 inches high by 7-3/4 inches wide. Softcover, bound in light tan wraps, titled within an illustration on the front cover and with an advertisement & price list on the rear cover. The covers are quite stained and the corner of the front cover & the spine are chipped. 51 & [1] pages, illustrated with a portrait frontispiece and 23 full page patterns. There is damp staining along the edges of several pages and a tiny perforation through the first 4 leaves. The frontispiece is detached but present, with chipping and heavy damp staining to the front edge. There is additional staining to a few pages. Good. RARE, and not surprisingly so as the price printed on the title page is 10 dollars. "During my travels and observations abroad and in this country, where I met the best professionals in the trade, I had an opportunity to find out that a work on unusual garments such as could not be committed to memory and which were utterly impossible to produce at all by many cutters on account of its lapse of time between such garments were made. From my early recollections as a merchant tailor I had experience of the same kind, but could find no work published that met this demand.I decided to compile a work that should cover the scientific production of unusual garments worn by men, and in 1898, decided to publish such a work at a later date." - from the "Author's Preface".
