Cape c. 1936

"Cape" is a fashion design illustration created in c. 1936 by Catherine Fowler (1855-1995). The drawing depicts a burgundy cape with a black tassel trim and a white outline of the garment. The cape appears to be a fashion design for women’s wear in the early 20th century. Fowler's work includes many drawings of clothing and accessories, reflecting a time when fashion illustration was an important part of the design process.
