Brief history of Lancome cosmetics illustrated by ads

Part of the Universe of Fashion series this is a short chronology of Armand Petitjean's founding of Lancome in 1935, the production struggle during W.W.II, and the change from a family business to being part of France's L'Oreal corporation. Lancome was originally begun as a fragrance house when Petitjean left Coty. Petitjean said: "Perfume is prestige, the flower in your buttonhole. But beauty products are our daily bread." There are 60 pages of lavishly printed product advertisements from 1935-1999. Overall the book could use more depth and/or be larger so that the prints could be displayed as the full size that they were printed. rjudith
