About this item

The endpapers alone are worth the shelf space - a red LILLY DACHE repeat pattern running end to end - and the back of the jacket carries a Harcourt of Paris portrait of Dache with her printed signature. A stated first edition with the jacket still on it is the configuration collectors of mid-century fashion books actually want.
