These come from the Henri Bendel Fashion and Costume Sketch Collection, which are apparently able to be viewed at the Brooklyn museum. Field trip to be scheduled at a later date. Each of these fashion vignettes has so much character; I imagine Ayn Rand's Dominique Francon would masterfully pull these off.
