Item description from seller

Original cardboard case surrounding the loose sheets, with paper label. (iv), 60, (6) pages, 100 chromolithographic plates with accompanying leaves of text. An astounding set of 100 vividly colored plates and their accompanying text (in German). In this book, we see examples and illustrations of ornamental designs on porcelain, tapestries, enamels, silks, jewellery, illuminated manuscripts, stained glass, jewelry, furniture, etc. from Greek, Byzantine, Indian, Renaissance, Celtic, Arab, Persian and many other styles of design. Bookpress (Williamsburg, VA) states: Third German edition. First published in ten parts from 1869-1873, this third German edition uses the same plates as the first, printed by Didot of Paris. Racinet's work, along with Owen Jones's "The Grammar of Ornament", are the two great ornament books of the age. Stunning plates. VG. Plates are clean and crisp, slight soiling here and there at the extremities. The box itself is held together with old duct tape.

Store description

Mullen Books maintains a very active computerized inventory which grows by 2-300 titles per week. Our specialties include the Humanities, with an emphasis on Art, Architecture, Photography, Decorative Arts, History, as well as Periodicals related to those areas. We have very rare as well as fairly common titles. Current inventory is approximately 79,000 titles. We have about 1000' of backlog in our specialties numbering over 30,000 items (including 20,000+ smaller and ephemeral catalogues devoted to individual artist exhibitions). Current stock occupies over 2.3 miles of shelving. We are active buyers as well as very active sellers, and supply entire reference libraries as well as individual titles. We ship books almost everywhere, with the exception of China due to restrictions. Our website mullenbooks.com maintains our entire database of over 150,000 titles dynamically, so you can submit "wants" for books which are listed, but not currently in-stock. It is a major research tool. Despite what Google may indicate, we are only open to visitors by appointment, as our schedules are dynamic depending upon the needs of our valued employees.…
