Minister's report of fashion for gentlemen (Spring & Summer, 1918)
A 1918 London tailoring catalogue issued by Minister & Co. to show gentlemen's spring and summer fashions. The plates are fashion illustrations of men in suits, morning coats, and hats, drawn in a fine-line tonal style with soft grey shading and minimal background detail. A designer could take from them the silhouettes, lapel shapes, and accessories of Edwardian menswear, including the cut of a double-breasted jacket and the tailcoat seen from behind.
