Hardcover. Condizione: Near Fine. Condizione sovraccoperta: Fine. First Edition. Bound in red cloth with gilt lettering on the cover and spine. The book reflects current scholarship in social history and material culture, but rather than being an exploration of the vernacular, it investigates the emergence of the luxury trade in eighteenth-century Paris, whose products survive in great quantity due to their superior materials and craftsmanship. The essays reveal many of the considerations?practical, social, and aesthetic?that inspired their production. By connecting the purposes, function, and beauty of these works of art, the volume makes a fascinating and important contribution to the study and enjoyment of a great period in French culture. The publication coincides with the exhibition Paris: Life & Luxury on view at the J. Paul Getty Museum from April 26 through August 7, 2011 and at the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston, from September 18 through December 10, 2011. 150pp. Pictorial dustjacket.CONDITION: Light shelf wear. Previous owner bookplate on pastedown. Pages are crisp and clean. Binding and text block are square and sound.
