Seller's Description:
New. 1851495274. *** FREE UPGRADE to Courier/Priority Shipping Upon Request ***-*** IN STOCK AND IMMEDIATELY AVAILABLE FOR SHIPMENT-Flawless copy, brand new, pristine, never opened--400 pages. Description: "The need for peoples to come together to celebrate their industry, demonstrate their skills and to trade the results of this industry has existed since man first organized himself into socially cohesive units. This eventually found universal expression in the extended series of international exhibitions which began in London in 1851 and has continued in one form or another up to the present day. The content of these exhibitions gave nations and individual companies of the world the opportunity to display their specialized skills and present new ideas and products to a much wider public. Jonathan Meyer, with his special interest in the furniture of the period, looks at major international exhibitions held during the nineteenth century, and makes the reader aware of the important changes taking place at this time. Although the general study of furniture and items of domestic decoration in the nineteenth century has not been neglected and many titles have been published, yet, strangely, these exhibitions have not been extensively covered. Jonathan has examined the enormous changes brought about by the industrial revolution, already in evidence with machinery and scientific methods applied to the decorative arts, and discusses, with the aid of numerous contemporary illustrations, many taken from the voluminous catalogues produced for the exhibitions, how these changes influenced the decorative arts themselves."--with a bonus offer--
