Aggiungi al carrelloSoft cover. Condizione: Near Fine. 1st Edition, Limited Edition. This 1978 exhibition catalog, compiled and introduced by noted curator and glass historian Dwight P. Lanmon, presents a richly documented survey of the Wadsworth Atheneum's holdings in historic glass, spanning nearly six centuries of production. The volume features… 154 pages of catalog entries, scholarly notes, and extensive photographic plates, most in black-and-white, illustrating Islamic, European, and American examples. Each object entry includes provenance, period, attribution, materials, and comparative references, making the catalog a practical reference for scholars and collectors. The softcover volume remains structurally sound, with clean, unmarked interior pages and strong binding. The cover shows expected age toning and scattered foxing, particularly on the front and rear panels, but no tears or writing. The glossy photographic plates are bright and well-reproduced, and the catalog?s organization, including introduction, object descriptions, bibliography, remains an excellent snapshot of late-20th-century American museum scholarship on glass. This printing does not state edition or impression, consistent with the Atheneum's standard exhibition-catalog practice of the period. The colophon lists Copyright © 1978, Wadsworth Atheneum; Library of Congress Catalogue Card Number 78-62279. The unpriced cover is typical of institutional catalogs published for limited distribution. Dwight P. Lanmon is an influential curator, scholar, and museum director known for his extensive work in the study of American and European glass. Formerly director of the Corning Museum of Glass and later head of the Winterthur Museum, Lanmon has authored major reference works that remain foundational in the field. His involvement ensures this catalog's scholarly reliability and enduring usefulness.
