Browsing is a great way to discover something new. Here are the Library of Congress call numbers to assist browsing physical books and bound magazines relevant to the 1920s.
You will also discover art deco, Bauhaus, etc. related materials in the Ns (general fine arts), NAs (architecture), NBs (sculpture), NCs (drawing), NDs (painting), and NEs (print media). It's easiest to discover items in these areas via the catalog, rather than by browsing.
