Subseries 4.2: Lord &Taylor, circa 1920-1959; undated, includes photographs of Dorothy Shaver's office, Lord & Taylor store openings, window displays, Lord & Taylor events and exhibitions, and the annual American Design Awards luncheon. Some of these images were annotated by Lord & Taylor employees, Elsie Shaver, or news reporting services.
The window displays are arranged by date and feature clothing for sale at Lord & Taylor. Many of the window displays focus on specific American designers such as Tom Brigance, Hattie Carnegie, Herbert Kasper, Claire McCardell, Monte-Sano and Pruzan, Clare Potter, and Ben Zuckerman. Other designers such as Emilio Pucci and Christian Dior are also featured. Some of the window displays feature clothing and other wares from France, Italy, and England. Another display promotes the New York Philharmonic. Window displays featuring Elsie Shaver's cotton sculptures are also present. Accompanying a few of these images are printed "Views & Reviews" cards from the Retail Reporting Bureau featuring a color image of the window display and a description of its contents.
Images of Lord & Taylor exhibitions and events include photographs of the British Fortnight event held in 1958, the Exposition of Modern French Decorative Art held in 1928, the annual "Hello Spring" event, and the "Antiques Shop" which Dorothy Shaver established early in her career at Lord & Taylor. It is unclear whether the "Antiques Shop" was a one-time event, a distinct department of Lord & Taylor, or an annual event. Materials in this subseries are arranged alphabetically by subject.
