Delineator August 1894 Issue | Vintage Magazine Scan (sort of)

So, in my last video I heavily referenced a magazine from 1894 when coming up with a design for this years  "pumpkin project". 

The Delineator was a magazine issued by the Butterick company from 1875 until 1937. That is the same Butterick company we all know of today - the one who makes patterns! 

They were in the same business back in the 1800s, and these magazines were a way to advertise popular fashions from the time, and the(ir) patterns to recreate them.

This means they have super in depth descriptions about the available styles, along with illustrations of the front and back views. They also sometimes had life advice articles, sheet music, home decor advice, needlework patterns, and anything else that might appeal to ladies of that period. I didn't photograph all those pages, but I did capture anything related to sewing.

And yes - photograph! This magazine is over 100 years old and though it is in phenomenal shape, the spine is delicate and can't be pressed flat to be scanned. So I tried to hold it as flat as possible and photographed it with an overhead camera. I exported these as the highest quality I could, which means the files are large, but you should be able to zoom in and read all the writing!

This magazine was sent to me from my Grandmother, who found it at an antique/craft market for $12. I'm so glad she did, it has served as a huge source of inspiration to me. And hopefully it will for some of you, too! 

EDIT: After attaching pdf files FOUR TIMES and having them show up in the preview, they have disappeared immediately after saving.

 Here is a link where you can view all the 120+ pages in google drive, or you can copy paste :

Sorry about the double notification and the mistake in the first place!
