Paris, 1900. Wraps. Stapled. Very Good. Lovely Art Nouveau-style catalogue of bookcases, including revolving ones, etageres, glass-fronted, music stands, book slides, desks, print racks, print cabinets, library step laddders, bookends, even a scrapbook. Basically many of the fixtures one would outfit an office or library with. Styles are various, with a considerable amount of ornate pieces in the Louis XVI style, but also plainer pieces in what in the U.S. was known as Arts and Crafts style, and some simply utilitarian pieces with no stylistic flourish. Some color added to illustrations in the center four pages -- a bright metallic yellow/gold, with chromolithography the printing process. N.d., circa 1900. Oblong, 15.5 by 24 cm. 46 pp. Pagination includes front cover, which has text on inside, but we aren't counting rear cover, which is blank inside, but with picture of Louis XVI-style desk on outside. Light wear. Light soiling, not disconcerting, on the cover, and much of this is erasable, if one wishes to expend the effort, with a simple eraser. A modest amount of soiling on the first and last leaf; otherwise, clean, or nearly so.
