<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Pat P, post: 61118, member: 201&quot;]I take back what I said about the font used for &quot;Butterick&quot;... it did look like the font in this piece in the 1960s. I also take back what I said about the registration marks, since the little x&#039;s in a circle were probably used for that purpose.</p><p><br /></p><p>But that said, the main reason I think it&#039;s a student&#039;s work is the quality and style of the drawing, which is kind of stiff and personality-less, with much simpler drawings than Butterick used. It has almost no shading or contouring and the woman looks frozen in time... compared with the fashion illustration style popular at the time that had a sense of movement and women with personality. My take, anyway!</p><p><br /></p><p>Here are examples of Butterick&#039;s artwork from circa 1960...</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://witness2fashion.files.wordpress.com/2015/01/bfn-1960-may-cover-9366-500-dpi.jpg?w=500" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://img0.etsystatic.com/000/0/5883799/il_570xN.167473938.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://img1.etsystatic.com/045/1/5144792/il_570xN.731342849_ar5e.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://img1.etsystatic.com/041/0/9103670/il_570xN.561041985_9owt.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>I took a Saturday fashion illustration course at Pratt Institute in 1961 or 1962, and the mockup reminds me of the work I did, which was decent for my experience level but far from professional.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
