EDITORS COMMENTS
This vintage postcard captures the essence of American fashion in the early 20th century. The focal point is a charming illustration showcasing the iconic American Special Suit, which was sold by the renowned American Clothing Co. Located at 225 Middle Street in Portland, Maine, this company was known for its high-quality garments that catered to both adults and children. The image depicts a group of well-dressed individuals wearing these stylish suits. Two young boys steal the spotlight with their breeches and knickers, exuding an air of sophistication beyond their years. The attention to detail in this lithograph is remarkable, capturing every fold and crease of their pants with precision. This postcard serves as more than just an advertisement; it represents a snapshot of North Americans' fashion choices during this era. The grayscale tones add a touch of nostalgia to the overall composition while emphasizing the timeless elegance of these outfits. Printed by Curt Teich Company using offset lithography techniques, this piece showcases exceptional design artistry and graphic expertise. Preserved within Lake County Museum's collection, it stands as a testament to America's rich commercial art history. Whether you're an enthusiast for vintage clothing or simply appreciate classic design aesthetics, this postcard offers a glimpse into America's sartorial past that continues to inspire even today.
