3.0 out of 5 stars If you're studying fashion this is a five star book, Nov 8 2005

By Annie A. "Annie A." - Published on Amazon.com

This review is from: Bloomingdale's Illustrated 1886 Catalog (Paperback)

I was slightly disappointed with this catalog. I was hoping for more house wares (dishes, sewing machines, porcelain ware etc.) and the prices for these items

If your interest is for Fashion clothing, jewelry, linens etc. this would be a valuable resource.

5.0 out of 5 stars Cool glimpse into the past, relavent to today, Mar 16 2006

This review is from: Bloomingdale's Illustrated 1886 Catalog (Paperback)

This book offers a revealing glimpse into our commercial culture of consumerism as it was just getting started 120 years ago. It is amazing the things you could buy in 1886! Medicines were marketed to meet every possible insecurity or physical shortcoming. The sale ads are just as persuasive as they are today. A five dollar watch for three dollars! We often do not realize how influential the culture of this era, the Victorian era, was on how we live today.
