Does anyone else have any of these???? Biographical / Historical In 1913, Joseph Magnin (son of Isaac Magnin, founder of the I. Magnin stores) founded a department store bearing his name in San Francisco, California. In 1967, the chain reached its peak popularity with over thirty-two stores. It had become one of the premier luxury department store chains in the country. The Magnin family sold the chain to Amfac Corporation in 1969. In September 1984, bankruptcy closed the remaining twenty-four stores. During the 1960s, Betty Brader (born 1923) became one of the chief illustrators of Joseph Magnin posters; this collection is comprised primarily of her work. She also worked for Neiman-Marcus, Saks, Franklin Simon, and various advertising agencies. Brader won numerous awards throughout her career for her innovative illustrations. Her style of fashion illustration is copied widely today by fashion illustrators. The posters she produced for Joseph Magnin were highly acclaimed in the San Francisco Bay Area. Brader died in 1986 after a long illness. I also have her earlier work of Fashion Design 3D Paper Dolls for Studio backstudy. Amazing work with the actual material used in the handpainted dolls. Most likely to be listed in the next year or so. "Ancient American Art" PLASTIC, MACHINE-PAINTED METAL AND HIGH-LUSTRE IMITATION STONES, THIRD-QUARTER, TWENTIETH CENTURY (C.1968).
