Book Description

New York: Tudor Publishing Company, 1938 With frontispiece in color and numerous illustrations from photographs. "An art that has become an industry often ceases to be regarded as art, and usually with some justice, for competition, with the resulting struggle for cheap production and the violent fluctuations in fashion induced artificially for the sake of profit, are not conducive to the maintenance of standards. So wallpaper has been looked upon largely as a commodity and has been almost completely neglected by students of the decorative arts. Its glorious past, however, is not depressed by commercialism and sporadic efforts are still being made to return it to the level of its own tradition. The possibilities of a decorative art of distinction are there, as the French designers of the 18th Century demonstrated..." Oxblood cloth covers with gilt stamped title on cover and spine.. Hard Cover. Excellent.
