Signed 1987 Art Deco Fashion Illustration Print by E. Hyman

Vintage art deco–style fashion illustration print signed and dated “E. Hyman ’87,” depicting a stylized female figure in a wide-brim hat and tailored coat set against a softly rendered urban architectural backdrop. The composition features smooth tonal gradients, geometric forms, and restrained color with a subtle accent of pink, evoking classic 1930s glamour interpreted through an 1980s art deco revival lens.

The artwork emphasizes elegance and anonymity, with the figure’s face partially obscured by the hat brim, a common motif in deco-influenced fashion illustration. Architectural elements and automobiles in the background suggest sophistication, movement, and modern city life, reinforcing the period-inspired aesthetic.

Produced in 1987, this piece reflects the renewed interest in art deco imagery and fashion illustration during the late 20th century. Works of this style were often created as limited-run prints and intended for decorative interior display rather than mass commercial reproduction.

The print is presented in a substantial black frame with layered matting, including a black inner mat and pink accent border, giving the piece strong graphic contrast and visual depth. Framing appears to be contemporary to the artwork or slightly later.
