Seller's Description:
Like New. Size: 11x8x1; Hardcover and dust jacket. Good binding and cover. Minor shelf wear. Clean, unmarked pages. This is the second volume of the definitive reference series dealing with commercial bronze sculptures in the period 1800 to 1930. This period spans the rise and decline of commercial industrial foundries in Europe, especially in France, and a wide array of international sculptors. Together, they produced millions of fine statuettes for the general public. Volume 2 includes 1025 photographs of sculptures on 272 pages with a numbered list of the sculpture categories and an essay on early twentieth-century sculptural styles by Tom Tomc of Chicago. It incorporates lists of the sculptors whose work is shown, the founders represented, and 58 different founders' seals. The photographs are remarkably clear enabeling small details in the scuptures to be visible. With this reference series, collectors will be able to identify many of the old commercial bronzes found on the market today. This is an oversized or heavy book that requires additional postage for international delivery outside of Canada and the US.
This is a comprehensive set of reference books on a wide range of bronzes produced in the 19th and early 20th century. They include fewer of the best-known works - for which there are many specialist books - but numerous lesser known bronzes which could not be easily found elsewhere - which makes them especially useful for tracking down the bronzes that only appear from time to time. If you buy the full set, be sure to buy one including the Master Index - or buy one separately to add to the set. It's only a stapled booklet, but it makes searching a lot easier.
