The programs include: "The Fashion Herald of 1949". [Boston: The Boston Herald-Traveler,] 1949. Folio (11" by 8.5"), pp. [12], in original illustrated wrappers. Program with credits for a fashion show held at The Somerset in Boston in February, 1949.

Program with credits for a fashion show held at The Somerset in Boston in February, 1950. This copy has extensive pencil annotations almost certainly added by an insider who was backstage with the models; quick sketches of the event have been added, such as a sketch of the television camera under the lights, and the outfits walking down the runway. There are is also a fascinating pencil note that gives excellent insight into the show: "Intermission-- Pat Harris- nervous; getting ready to be seen on television wearing plain high neck black dress; pearls + big pearl earrings. Muriel-- wearing beige + marine; short jacket, belted height, small brimmed hat with marine". Models' name have been recorded throughout with sketches of the designs. Very good to near-fine. Minor toning. Adhesive stains to lower wrappers of the larger programs.
