About This Item
Paris: B. Arnaud, 1930. Paperback. Each leaf a numbered plate on high-gloss alkaline paperstock, plate numbers run to p.151 but nearly one hundred leaves are omitted - obviously a catalogue prepared for a specific client - plates #1-4 for instance are followed by #10 which is followed by #15. Find titlepage plus 59 leaves exhibiting tableware (rectos only), then 36 leaves printed recto & verso showing a range of designs that could be etched on any of the glassware products. No color, artists' renderings in shaded b&w, one to two dozen on a page. Softbound in 11x8.5 inch yapp-edged, plain printed wraps fastened with decorative cord. Item is mildly edgeworn (those overlapping yapps take a beating), joint at tail has a quarter-inch split, cord is a little pokey-looking, both textblock and covers bear an upper-corner bump affecting a 2x1 inch corner-tip wedge throughout. Quite sound otherwise, and perfectly clean and unmarked. Mostly articles for meals and entertaining, but two "urinals" for the bedridden (homme, femme) are shown with cheese dishes, p.58.
