Today's update features the complete Hamilton Garment Co. mail order catalog from Spring/Summer 1918 with 52 pages. The catalog features dresses, suits, coats and shoes from the newly established shoe department of the New York department store on Fifth Avenue.

Although the United States entered World War I a year earlier—in April 1917—there is no hint of the war within the catalog. But here and there military fashion trickled into the current women's fashion of 1918.

As of now, the entire Hamilton Garment Co. catalog from spring and summer 1919 is online. Although large parts of the catalog were already online, now all pages are uploaded and publicly accessible. This makes it the first completely uploaded catalog on artdeco-boulevard.de!

After the launch of artdeco-boulevard.de on July 15, 2016, the first update takes place today with the spring and summer issue of Haensel Echo No. 9 from 1931. It is the first issue that is completely online and can conveniently be browsed through by the new Flipbook.

In order to use the Flipbook in a meaningful and optimal way, future issues and small catalogs will be uploaded completely if possible—or published step by step, depending on the amount of pages. But first, have fun with the new update!

A whole 105 pages from the Philipsborn's mail order catalog from spring and summer 1924 follow today as a new update. In addition, all fashion pages from the December issue of Illustrierte Modenschau No. 168 from 1926 have been available online for a few weeks now. This means that there are now over 1,700 fashion images online!

In addition, the fashion year 1926 has been completely revised, greatly expanded and footnotes added.

Today's update is a novelty for zwischenkriegszeit.de. For the first time, the 77 newly uploaded images from the 1929-30 Spiegel, May, Stern & Co. fall and winter catalog include scanned fashion images as well as household textiles, furniture, electrical household appliances and automobile accessories that were offered on installment purchase in the catalog.

A slight revision has been made to the 1926 fashion year, with the section on self-tailoring assigned to the Twenties overview section. A total of over 1,600 images are now online.
