Hardcover. Condition: Very Good +++. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good + + +. XII + 1277 Pages. 24 x 16 x 8 cm. Large and very heavy book. Reference book for arts and handicrafts that "serve a practical purpose but are nevertheless prized for the quality of their workmanship and the beauty of their appearance." (From editor's preface). Includes: leather-working, ceramics, textiles, costume, wood-working, metal-working, glass-making, paper-making, clock-making, typography, landscape gardening, photography, arms and armor, enamels, lacquer, jewelry, toys, lace-making, embroidery, lots more. 865 pages including index, charcoal gray cloth boards with gilt titles on spine, more than 3,000 entries, lots of text illustrations. The unifying concept and guiding thread in this Companion is fine craftsmanship. It covers those arts whose products, although made for a purpose, are chiefly valued for their workmanship and the beauty of their appearance. These are the arts which the museums, following the French custom, class as "equity" arts rather than "fine"." -- From the front fold over panel blurb.
