*Felix (Auguste, active 1850-1870). A large collection of original designs for hats, 87 pen, ink, and watercolour designs on wove paper (many of the 87 sheets with the design shown from two different angles), some highlighted in gold, several uncoloured (or with only a touch of watercolour), mostly for hats and headdresses, but some for jewellery, stoles, veils, and other accoutrements of dress, many dated variously 1860-1869 in neat contemporary manuscript to lower margin or beneath on album leaf, and some with caption names in the same hand e.g. Omphale, Marie TherŠse, Diva, Niska, Circassienne, Florentine, Bienvenue, ComŠte, Donna Garcia, Toque Grecque, Baudelette Greques, Senorita, approximately 10 x 14cm (4.25 x 5.5ins) and slightly smaller, some light toning and marks in places, 21 mounted (some in double aperture mounts), five mounted, framed, and glazed, most of remainder laid down on album leaves, housed together in a large green cloth solander box (rubbed and marked) Little seems to be known about Felix Auguste, although he was associated with the House of Worth, one of the most important fashion houses in Paris in the 19th century. The founder of the company was Charles Frederick Worth (1825-1895), the English dressmaker accredited with being the father of haute couture. His designs dominated the Paris fashion scene in the second half of the 19th century and well into the 20th. Later, Auguste Felix worked as a fashion designer for Parisian couturier Paul Poiret (1879-1944). His designs are drawn with great delicacy and his creations were inventive and often witty. The Victoria & Albert Museum and the Costume Institute at The Metropolitan Museum of Art hold examples of his watercolours, which rarely come onto the market. Indeed, such a large collection of his work at auction is unprecedented. (87)
