1930s Carlos Saenz de Tejada, fashion illustration for Blanco y Negro magazine, Paris.
The ABC Collection guards 906 original drawings by Sáenz de Tejada, among which 775 are fashion illustrations. A selection of 127 drawings can be shown in this exhibition, all from the period of Tejada in Paris (1931 – 1936). As a front row witness of all the couture shows in Paris (Worth, Patou, Callot Sœurs, Heim, Hermès, Paquin o Rochas), Sáenz de Tejada took fast —but very detailed— notes that would become an illustrated chronicle for his ABC’s and Blanco y Negro’s publications. In most cases, accompanied by an article signed by Thérèse Clemenceau, French Prime Minister’s daughter.
Museo ABC, Madrid, Spain.

A Pictorial History of Costume
Dorine Van Den Beukel
The Pepin Press, Amsterdam 2001, 22x28,3cm, ISBN 9054960469
euro 25,00
The 500 colour illustrations in this book date from the 19th century. They show the attire of the people in various parts of the world at different points in history.
Dating from the nineteenth century, this book is a collection of handcoloured, engraving illustrations. Often times, costume history books stay within the boundaries of the European culture, failing the reader who may want to see what the Mongoloids wore while Josephine pranced around France in her empire gown. This book, unabashedly illustrates without bias, different cultures that existed around the world at the time. Indeed, a very beautiful and invaluable source of research.
