Publisher's Notes
A First Lady. An American icon. A legend. Jacqueline Bouvier Kennedy Onassis was all of that, and yet she was an extremely private person. For the first time since the fabled auction, the items that only a privileged few were able to view are captured in all their beauty in Jackies Treasures: The Fabled Objects from the Auction of the Century by Dianne Russell Condon, with a foreword by Dominick Dunne.Jackies Treasures, includes fifty of the most talked about and intriguing items from the auction that made headlines around the world. Each item is accompanied by vintage photographs and a brief history detailing its provenance. Condon presents an array of pieces that extend throughout Jackies life--John F. Kennedys rocking chair, John Jr.s high chair, the now famous humidor given to John F. Kennedy by Milton Berle, Jackies pearls, and the Lesotho III, her engagement ring from Aristotle Onassis. Condon also includes a full index of all of the lots sold at the auction from least to most expensive. Her detailed descriptions of the items and the auctions atmosphere when they were presented offer a glimpse not only into Jackies enchanting life but into a part of history that will always be in our hearts. Jackie's Treasures is an exquisite souvenir of not just a woman whose grace and style were imitated and admired the world over, but an era that will never be forgotten not unlike Camelot.

The enduring popularity and fascination with the art of Egypt is at the heart of this volume. This completely new survey sets out to shatter any conventional beliefs that Egyptian art is obsessed with funerary themes and full of static renderings of the human form. The authors present this art, which has a 7,000 year history, as a product of a civilization wholly different from our own. One hundred of the most significant pieces from the Brooklyn Museum of Art are chronologically organized, revealing how Egyptian 'art' developed and progressed.

Condon, Dianne Russell
Westminster, Maryland, U.S.A.: Random House Inc, 1996 Hard cover with blue paper-covered boards and spine, silver printing on spine, is in FINE condition. Brodart-wrapped DJ, NOT price-clipped, is FINE. Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis was loved and admired the world over, and the auction of her personal belongings created a media frenzy. Here for the first time is the behind-the-scenes story of what has been deemed "the estate auction of the century." For four days the world stood by awestruck as personal belongings of the First Lady and American icon, Jacqueline Bouvier Kennedy Onassis, were sold at the gavel. Held in New York by Sotheby's -- the world's most prestigious auction house -- the results were nothing short of spectacular, with a first night's total sales of $4.47 million. But only a priviledged few were able to view the items on display. Until now. Here, captured forever, are 50 of the most fabulous and intriguing items ever to come up at auction -- Jackie's pearl necklace, John-John's 19th-century mahogany high chair, Caroline's rocking horse, JFK's humidor given to him as an Inauguration Day gift by Milton Berle, the Lesotho III diamond engagement ring from Aristotle Onassis, and many more. Each item is accompanied by vintage family photographs and a brief history detailing its provenance. There is also a complete listing of the astronomical sale prices for each item in the auction. The public's fascination with Jackie has never faded and "Jackie's Treasures" now offers everyone the opportunity to understand the excitement generated by the auction and a chance to peer into the private world of one of the world's most celebrated women..
