Hollanders, a clothing retailer located at 290 Fifth Avenue in New York (with a Boston branch at 32 Boylston), is showcasing fashionable women's garments from what appears to be the late 19th or early 20th century. The illustration displays three elegantly dressed women in period attire featuring: - Fitted bodices with decorative details - Long, flowing skirts - Elaborate hats and accessories - Elaborate cloaks and trim The decorative "Hollanders" text at top left and the stylized illustrations are typical of period fashion advertising.
