About This Item
New York: The Metropolitan Museum of Art, 1927. First English Edition. Hardcover. Near Fine. 4to 11" - 13" tall. Sturdy, attractive, tightly bound, internally clean hardcover copy, with unbruised tips, neat and tidy paste-downs; not ex-library, with neither highlighting nor underlining. Previous owner's inscription at first free endpaper, minor soiling of paper label title at spine, else decorated covers are quite nice, and interior is clean and bright. 108 pp. of text, and then an extensive range of xcii sharp and distinct black-and-white and duotone photographs. The Note notes that this is a translated version (presumably from the original French) of the manuscript by "one of the leading authorities upon the subject of the history of printed cottons." In the Introduction, which follows a list of illustrations, a brief bibliography, etc., it is said: "The art of printed cotton or toile imprimee -- that charming caprice that dominated French fashions of the eighteenth century -- may be summed up for posterity in a single name: Christophe-Philippe Oberkampf, the epic founder of the manufactory at Jouy. But just as Philippe de Lasalle and Reveillon, though outstanding figures in their respective industries of silk and wallpaper, are not alone in production, it would be unjust to the memory of this great industrialist to isolate him from the general movement in which he was the chief actor, or to remove his name from the time-honored annals of printed cottons, which under the guidance of his inspired genius reached the zenith of their glory. All history is inter-related." Indeed.Member, I.O.B.A., C.B.A., and adherent to the highest ethical standards. Additional postage may be required for oversize or especially heavy volumes, and for sets.
