Weve Tried To Capture Some Of This Dream In Our Selections From The Fredericks Collections. All Of The Copy And Fashion Illustrations Are Directly Photographed From The Fredericks Of Hollywood Catalogs. We Have Also Tried To Preserve The Feeling And Texture Of The Original Catalogs In The Design Of This Book. In Compiling These Materials We Encountered Some Difficulties. All The Original Artwork Had Been Lost Or Destroyed. A Number Of Catalogs Were Also Lost (Most Notably The Years 1959 Through 1962). And, All Of The Existing Catalogs Were Poorly Preserved, Thereby Forcing From The Book Many Items Which Couldnt Be Salvaged Or Reproduced. However, The Lessthanperfect Quality Of Some Of The Reproductions Is Far Outweighed By Both Their Authenticity And The Design Of The Fashions Themselves. September 1973
