Yes, wonderful smell, like an old jeans store

Terri, I posted a couple of comments on the subject of Inuit clothing in the Costumer's section of the forum, I'm guessing you've already seen/read them.

I'm still figuring out my way around the forum re: sending messages / commenting / uploading pix, etc.

Yes I did see your posts.

I think we just passed by each other as I left Banff in 1989. Small world!

Today, in the mail, I finally received my copy of
DER ZUSCHNITT für die Herrenschneiderei (17th)
a very, very sought after and long awaited for volume.

What's really wonderful about this copy is that it is still in its original shipping box (a beautiful package, nonetheless) baring the name of the Japanese Tailor who purchased it in 1969, over half a century ago. His translation notes are still legible and that is exactly what I am going to do is translate the text into English, except I have the 21st century advantage of digitally scanned OCR technology and translation software.

Thanks especially to you Der Zuschneider, you helped me understand what this book is,
 and from you I figured out how to identify the correct edition when hunting on-line.









Cheers!

You are lucky. The book would sell now for 450$.

I am still selling a couple of books on ebay.

I know, right?

I thought you raised a really interesting subject. The first residency in the visual arts that I did at the Banff Centre for the Arts - 89/90 - was also the debut year for a joint co-production with the Welsh National Opera who together with the Banff Centre launched a brand new opera called Tornrak.

We (who were all so young back then) all thought Richard Armstrong was a big hoot because he made this famous pronouncement (in his booming voice): 'to perform on stage, one must have élan!' which I discovered decades later is attributable to somebody else much earlier, I think maybe I read that in Martha Feldman's book Castrato https://www.ucpress.edu/books/the-castrato/paper

Do you know, I hadn't even done the maths! 

We'll see.

I've done plenty of that.

No it doesn't, BUT I have purchased an actual copy of the book. It hasn't arrived yet.

What I did in the interim is extracted images from the Daman version, which is posted in this forum.

Great find!

Quote from: Schneiderfrei on January 14, 2025, 04:37:46 PMAs a matter of fact, I've translated the entire work, and I'm on the second proof. But to be honest, I don't really know how to handle it. If it were not still in copyright, I'd sell them, but I need to make some effort to find out who owns the copyright and if they want my translation.

Does your translation including p56 & 57? I remember these two important pages of setting in sleeve is missing...
