Stunningly beautiful portraits of East-meets-West style,
By A Customer
This review is from: Chinese Woman and Modernity (Calendar Posters of the 1910s-1930s) (Hardcover)
Yes, it's expensive, but if you can afford it and are even slightly drawn to a retro mix of Eastern and Western standards of beauty, it's well worth the investment. Gorgeous reproductions, with amazing depth of color. Full portraits followed by well-chosen details. Highly recommended!

Well worth every penny,
By Vern Yip Fan (Illinois United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Chinese Woman and Modernity (Calendar Posters of the 1910s-1930s) (Hardcover)
I have been collecting these type of advertising posters for some time now, and this is the only English language book that I know of on this subject. The photos are awesome, and the text gives the reader a wealth of knowledge on these posters and the artists that produced them. If you have the slightest interest in this era of advertising, buy this book now, before it slips away.
