A new publication from Public Collectors: Fashion Illustrations by D. ‘Jame

Featuring eleven color illustrations. These drawings by a fashion illustrator or designer named D. ‘Jame come from the collection of Michael Thomas, an artist based in Chicago. Thomas found the drawings at a thrift store in Chicago, located on Broadway Avenue near Devon. He writes: “They were priced at $5 per drawing. I could only afford one and was unable to decide. The owner of the store said he was tired of having them around and I could buy them all for $20. There are thirty-three drawings. He said there had been more, but they had been sold.” The drawings are dated from 1970-77. No other information about D. ‘Jame is known.

This booklet is free at the exhibit Archival Impulse. Otherwise copies of this and other Public Collectors booklets can be purchased through Half Letter Press.
