Thanks for sharing a rare AMG catalog page. When Mizer died his attorney trashed everything in Mizer’s house except the photos and negatives, a shame. -Rj
It is a shame! From my first glimpses of Mizer’s AMG photos, I wondered how people navigated the process of identifying models and placing orders for models one liked. The catalogue pages are (and the whole AMG cataloguing system, which I have written about here at the blog, is) precious in the aggregate, since they rebuild the scattered puzzle pieces into something like a whole. (Lots of metaphors there, I see.) I sometimes think Mizer made it difficult to make prosecution difficult — but building a complex system and losing the key is also possible!
