Eaton'S Spring And Summer Catalogue 1906

By T Eaton Co and T. Eaton Co. Limited

Book Overview

Step inside Eaton's in 1906. A nation in transition, an empire at its height, and every hope of modern comfort laid out on the page. Eaton's Spring and Summer Catalogue 1906 is a complete facsimile of the legendary Canadian illustrated mail order catalog, a vintage department store catalog that opened early 1900s Canada shopping to farmsteads and growing towns alike. From walking suits, corsets and childrenswear to bicycles, gramophones and farm tools, these pages capture edwardian fashion and clothing alongside the everyday hardware of domestic life, an antique household goods reference rich in precise prices, descriptions and engravings. As a historic retail catalogue facsimile and historic advertising illustrations book, it offers a vivid snapshot of 1906 Edwardian era retail culture, perfect as a reference for costume designers, social historians, family researchers, and a resource for vintage collectors and enthusiasts of commercial art. Republished by Alpha Editions for readers who cherish period ephemera and the great mail-order houses once rivalled by Sears Roebuck catalog collectors, this is the complete Eatons 1906 catalog presented as both evidence and inspiration. Out of print for decades and now republished by Alpha Editions. Restored for today's and future generations. More than a reprint - a collector's item and a cultural treasure.
