W. J. Mahon's catalogs for men's fashions (Spring & Summer, 1908)
This is a 1908 spring and summer men's fashion catalogue issued by the W. J. Mahon firm, presenting tailored suits and overcoats to male customers. The four plates show standing male figures in suits, frock coats and long overcoats, with accompanying text blocks in the margins. A designer could take from them the period silhouettes of close-fitting jackets, high-waisted trousers and long single- and double-breasted coats, along with the formal Edwardian pose of cane and top hat.
