1924 Fashion Peggy Hamilton Christmas David Durand Ads - ORIGINAL RTO1

This is an original rotogravure picture and ad section from the Los Angeles Sunday Times, December 21, 1924. This two-page, double-sided section includes images of fashionable attire posed and directed by Peggy Hamilton--with one of the models being child movie star, David Durand. In the interior and back pages are advertisements for the Duo-Art reproducing piano from The Birkel Company; Silverwoods, Inc.; jewelry from Montgomery Bros.; chocolates from The Elite; Babani Perfumes from Elizabeth Arden; Golliwogg Perfume; and Canada Dry Ginger Ale.

Period Paper is pleased to offer a scarce collection of original rotogravure pictorial sections from several major U. S. newspapers. These sections were highly popular in their day, and today they provide us with fascinating "snapshots," so to speak, of historical events, people and places--a virtual treasure trove for the collector of historical memorabilia. These items are extremely fragile and to reduce handling them we have taken a digital image of the first page only, and will provide a brief written description of the interior images. (Please note that the image contrast and resolution is of a higher quality than we were able to capture digitally.) Each item in this collection is protected by an oversized black acid-free 3-ply board and encapsulated in an archival resealable bag. Plus, we use special custom shipping materials to guarantee safe arrival, flat. Due to the large size of these sections, they will be shipped folded along the original crease.

About Rotogravure: Rotogravure is a printing method using a rotary press with intaglio cylinders which allows for very high quality halftone reproductions to be printed at high speed on inexpensive paper stock. Newspapers, beginning with The New York Times, were able to make effective use of this technology, and many published regular rotogravure pictorial sections in their publications during the early 20th century.
