Dear all,
I have a student researching the relationship between the 'ideal' body
size/image and the reality of the size of the general population during
the 20th
century. As part of this, she would like to look at runs of Mail Order
catalogues from companies such as Kays, Grattans, Littlewoods etc. It
appears as though the National Art Library has a run of the Littlewoods
catalogue but I have looked in vain for any others, so I wonder if
anyone has any ideas where such materials can be found. Could please
you reply directly to me, and I can summarise for the list.
Many thanks,
Donald Tait
