About This Item
"No more corsets, bustles and shoulder pads; they will wear soft, supple, fluid draperies, in soft and melted colours. Finally, the garment adapts to the body... shaped according to the silhouette."
-Arthur Liberty
Established in 1875, Liberty & Co. created a legacy of great British textile design, opening its first Parisian store after success at the 1889 Exposition Universale. Arthur Lasenby Liberty (1843 -1917) shared his circle with pre-Raphaelite painters Dante Gabriel Rosetti and John Everet Millais, and their mutual delight for the ornamentation of medieval illuminated manuscripts suffused their work with flowers. This catalogue dates from Liberty's move to its grand premises on the Boulevard des Capucines. Octavo, 4 leaves, colour illustrations throughout, a fine copy.
