Baccarat, The Perfume Bottles, French Book by Cristallerie de Baccarat, 1986
About the Item
Baccarat, Les Flacons a Parfum - The Perfume Bottles, by Compagnie des Cristalleries de Baccarat and edited by Henri Addor and Associés, Paris in 1986.
Illustrated with 71 wash drawings, 602 line drawings, 161 black and white photographs, and 57 color plates. Text in English and French.
Like paintings and jewelry, perfume bottles are now the subject of a unique sales theme at the Auction House Hôtel Drouot in Paris. While some renowned bottles have reached unusual prices, others, less known or poorly identified, have struggled to exceed their estimates. This work partially filled the lack of historical documentation. Eight hundred and thirty-nine bottles produced by the Cristalleries de Baccarat from 1889 to 1992 are pictured using documents extracted from their archives and specimens from the collection visible at the Baccarat Museum in Paris to constitute this collector's guide. The book also features a chronological index and an alphabetical index of perfumers.
It is a beautiful coffee table art book.

- 1925 The Memory Years, French Book by Editions Larousse, 1988By Modern HistoryLocated in Atlanta, GA1925, Les Années-Mémoire (1925, The Memory Years), French book by Editions Larousse, 1988. Relive the year 1925 as if you were there. This volume will make you relive, with emotion, the facts and events of the interwar period. Because that year, in France, we hear everywhere humming, "When We Are Two, It's Not The Same Thing" by Maurice Chevalier. Street music and music hall contribute to a good mood. And yet, the economic situation is hardly smiling, and the French government knows many setbacks: in April, Edouard Herriot yields his place as president of the Council to Paul Painlevé, and in October, Aristide Briand, in his turn, replaces it. Inflation in Germany is still rife, and the mark value is almost zero. 1925 is also rich in artistic and sporting events. American crews completed the first circumnavigation of the globe by plane in 175 days. French actor Michel Simon is first seen in Marcel L'Herbier's film "Feu Mathias Pascal." Classical music is not to be outdone, Maurice Ravel composes Tzigane, and Honegger triumphs with his King David. A new phenomenon, sport fascinates more and more French people and attracts many followers. Our tennis players excel at Wimbledon while the All Blacks come to give us a rugby lesson. In Monaco, we happily celebrate Louis II...Category

- The Cars in Posters, French Book by Thierry Favre, 2007By Modern HistoryLocated in Atlanta, GAL'Auto s'affiche (The Cars in Posters), French Book by Thierry Favre, 2007. Prefaced by Louis Schweitzer, this book unveils a formidable collection of graphic posters illustrating automobile history. This retrospective allows an understanding of artistic trends and the evolution of advertising while discovering manufacturers, luxury models, casual vehicles, trucks, coaches, and other racing cars. The golden age of the graphic poster began in 1880 in the railway tourism sector. The photographic poster has been successful and has dominated the market since the 1970s. The poster is related to the development of the automobile industry at the beginning of the 20th century. It expresses an advertising message but also becomes a mode of artistic expression in its own right. Thanks to the talent of artists like Pal, Mich, Vincent, Mauzan, Geo Ham, Kow, Cassandre, Savignac, and many others, the poster strikes the imagination of passers-by. It entertains, inspires dreams, and innovates. The graphic print expresses all the major artistic trends, from Art Nouveau to Art Deco. It is paradoxical to note that the woman's omnipresence in the image largely contributed to the birth of the myth of the Automobile. After World War I, the automotive landscape changed a lot. The 416 makes counted around 1910 disappeared for different reasons: non-competitiveness of assemblers, too rapid technical development, and damage correlated with the conflict. On the other hand, new brands resulting, in particular, from the formidable evolution of military aviation from 1915 to 1919 appear: Voisin, Farman, and Hotchkiss wanted to branch out from machine guns. Curiously, the big car...Category
