Collection consists of conceptual drawings, mock-ups, page proofs, and newspaper advertisements. The majority of the items were produced by Jordan during the 1980s for Frost Bros., an iconic Texas department store based in San Antonio. Jordan's illustrations were created for men's and women's fashion, fragrance, skincare, and cosmetics advertisements. A small sampling of sketches by Jordan are from his time with I. Magnin in San Fransciso.
While most of the materials in the collection were created by Jordan, four newspaper advertisements from New York retailers Bonwit Teller and Bergdorf Goodman were the creations of fashion artist, George Stavrinos. Two Frost Bros. pieces from the 1960s are from an unknown illustrator.
Materials are organized by retailer and subject matter.
