W. J. Mahon's catalogs for men's fashions (Spring & Summer, 1912)
A 1912 spring and summer fashion catalogue issued by the W. J. Mahon firm, a men's clothing retailer, showing tailored suits, overcoats, top hats and waistcoats for male customers. The plates are fine-line engravings of standing and walking men in formal and daytime dress, with clean outlines and little shading, so a designer could borrow their silhouettes, tailoring details and period posture for vintage-styled layouts.
