"Ok, something really rare and early. The handwritten note by Bolles on the back says that he completed this in a 24 hour period."

From the flickr page: "toddler's clothing stamped ready to embroider clothing. My mother remembers her mother telling her that she ironed 2 or 3 changes of dresses per day in the 40's for her (my mother) to wear at a similar age. I have to imagine that this kind of clothing could only be worn in a similar way. It would wrinkle quickly and show dirt horribly. "

From the ad:

"The exquisite style and sheer loveliness of the WOLFHEAD UNDERGARMENTS are equaled only by their practical economy. These are days when women have neither time nor money to waste on garments that do not give full service and satisfaction.

WOLFHEAD designs for nightgowns, petticoats, envelope chemise and camisoles embody the most pleasing and the most advanced fashion ideas.

They are skilfully cut from superior materials, and trimmed with fine embroideries, imported lace and the daintiest ribbons.

In making them, the most expert and painstaking needlework is employed -- you will find no raw edges or careless finishing. And they always fit perfectly. Look for the WOLFHEAD label in every garment.

At the best stores and shops you will find a complete selection of of the newest WOLFHEAD styles, at very moderate prices.

If your dealer can not show them to you, write for the name of the nearest store handling them.

"The French magazine Gazette du Bon Ton, was a unique Parisian fashion journal started by Lucien Vogel in 1912. Vogel, in an effort to emphasize the connections between fashion and art, provided exquisite fashion plates created by modern artists such as Paul Iribe, George Lepape, Georges Barbier, Charles Martin, Pierre Brissaud and others. Marketed towards the Paris elite, prints of exclusive and trend-setting fashions appeared in limited editions, but without an explanatory text. Many designs were idealistic leisure scenes of the well-to-do, illustrating the latest creations of Paris fashion houses such as Worth, Lanvin, Doucet, Poiret, Callot Soeurs, Paquin and Beers. Each fashion pochoir (stencil) print was hand-painted in vivid colors on handmade paper, thus, Gazette du Bon Ton is one of the most desired period fashion magazines for collectors. "
