About This Item
Lausanne, Switzerland: Editalia, 1965. 278 pages, illustrations (part mounted, part colour); 34 cm. English Edition. Firm binding, clean inside copy. Boards lightly soiled, age toning. Dust jacket, with closed tears, protected in a mylar cover. OVERSIZE! No priority/international, except by special arrangement. Richly illustrated with colour plates. A stunning, lavishly-illustrated volume offering a panoramic history of Western tapestry design since late medieval times. This is no mere "survey" of past art (Flemish tapestries and moldly old survivors of the French Revolution); the sections devoted to modern, twentieth-century tapestry design are quite excellent, too. CONTENTS: Preface, by J. Jobe; Gothic Tapestry, by P. Verlet; Classical Tapestry, by M. Florisoone; Contemporary Tapestry, by A. Hoffmeister; The Weaver's Art, by F. Tabard; Bibliography (p. 269-270).. Hardcover. Very Good/Good. Folio.
