Abstract:
This collection comprises the European fashion plates collected by Irene Saltern Salinger, a Hollywood fashion designer in the late 1930s to early 1940s. The fashion plates showcase popular clothing for upper-class men, women, and children from the mid- to late-nineteenth century. The plates are primarily hand-colored etchings and steel engravings which were collected independently from their original publications. The collection also includes a few costume plates that showcase the attire of lower classes and people of the world.
