vintage American Fabrics magazine, Spring 1951

The Spring 1951 issue (number 17) of American Fabrics magazine provides an abundance of vintage lettering and illustration styles, advertisements, fashion trends, out-dated cultural commentary, vintage textiles and fabric swatches, and more than you ever cared to know about Paisley patterns. With 146 pages and a trim of 11 x 14.5  inches, the large-format magazine is a bit difficult to fit on a shelf, but provides interesting visual content on almost every page.
