El Morocco's Family Album by Jerome Zerbe (Book)

About the Item

This book which was privately published in 1937, therefore over 90 years old, is a photographic record of one of New York's most famous nightclubs of the inter war years where the great and the good of society and Hollywood gathered to party. It really is a fascinating record of how life was lived in the first half of the twentieth century. The photographs were taken by society photographer Jerome Zerbe and the introduction by Lucius Beebe. Guests to be seen on the Zebra striped benches include such as Clark Gable, Douglas Fairbanks, William Randolph Hearst, Errol Flynn, Elsa Maxwell, various Vanderbilts and Roosevelts, Royalty and Gentry from around the world.

  • Moroccan Interiors Tashen Book by Lisa Lovatt-Smith
    Located in North Hollywood, CA
    Moroccan Interiors Tashen Book by Lisa Lovatt-Smith. A temptation to dream This book explores contemporary interiors in the sun-soaked land that stretches from the Sahara to the Mediterranean: Morocco. The diversity is breathtaking: the rural pis? architecture of the south is a far cry from the Hispano-Mooresque ornamental beauty of the imperial cities. Moroccan Interiors are as endlessly varied as the country itself, from the restored palaces in the medina of Marrakesh (where aesthetes of the international set now live). Exploring contemporary interiors in the sun-soaked African nation of Morocco, this breathtaking volume takes readers into the restored palaces of Marrakesh as well as humble fishermen's homes at Sisi Moussa d'Aglou. The colorful palette of this country and the light there themselves suffuse these very different homes with a vitality that is as distinctive to modern Morocco as it is a reflection of contemporary trends in decor worldwide. The author: Lisa Lovatt-Smith was born in 1967 in Barcelona of British parents. She has since lived in London, Madrid and Milan. At eighteen she began a meteoric career at the various international editions of Vogue. She has since decided to concentrate on writing in Paris, her chosen home, where she lives with her daughter About the Author: Lisa Lovatt-Smith has lived in London, Madrid, and Milan and is now based in Paris. She is also the author of Taschen's Provence Interiors...
