About This Item
Paris: Éditions Albert Lévy. Librairie Centrale des Beaux-Arts, 1928. Nouvelle Edition. Paper pastedown on boards of folder. . Very Good. Folio. 48 by 37 cm. 20 plates of very bright pochoir of bold, visually exciting floral patterned decoration, the designs of which straddle what we regard as Art Nouveau and Art Deco. The Art Deco element enters into the geometric patterns, which are overall a recessive piece of the designs overall. Benedictus (1878-1930) was a polymath -- he was also a composer and a chemist. In the latter capacity, he invented bullet-proof glass. Condition: wear to the folio folder, with some discoloration and staining to its paper pastedown, and lifting of the spine. Fraying of spine cloth. Card stock used for title and plates somewhat brittle, with some edge chipping, and/or closed tears. most pronounced on title page. Plate 12 with a crease midway down the center of the horizontal, and there is a closed tear at the end of this. Some marginal soiling to the plate leaves. Most importantly, though, the pochoir decoration remains vivid and bright throughout.
