A propos de cet article

Scarce and unusual trade catalogue and promotion for Regents Street haberdasher. With no copies found anywhere. (Not to be confused with similar title by American cartoonist Palmer Cox.) 4to. 25 by18 cm. Unpaginated, 20 pages,eight of which have fold-out flaps. Illustrated extensively drawn vignettes, many of which are light-hearted and comical, sometimes because the illustration itself is caricature-ish, other times, because of the wry short caption below the vignette.

Loose, but tucked inside the brochure, is a postcard sent with the catalogue for a customer to request the company to send him fabric swatches. With the Regent Street address, not to mention the clothes being showcased, Hector Powe catered to the carriage trade, and we would assume that it was just a notch below the better Savile Row custom tailors in terms of prestige, and the price range.

The company was acquired in 1954 by a concern that eventually merged with or was absorbed by Burberry. Light soiling of the wraps, some of which can be mitigated further, if one so wishes, with an eraser. Staples used to bind now rusty. Otherwise, clean, tight.…
