Additional Details

Giuseppe Rosa (born 1873) was an Italian immigrant to New York who operated a tailoring school. In 1914, he published a pamphlet, "L'arte del tagliatore: trattato italiano-inglese, tecnico, pratico, professionale, per disegnatori e tagliatori sarti." This archive contains hundreds of letters addressed to Professor Rosa, manuscript tailoring diagrams, manuscripts of his instructional manuals, and printed ephemera from his school. Almost the entirety of the collection is in Italian.
