Seller's Description:
Fine. Book. 8vo-over 7¾-9¾" tall. Very uncommon title by the noted collector of the Guennol Collection. As new and unread. Heavy card stock covers with gilt lettering. The Guennol Collection began in 1947 when the Alastair Bradley Martins became enamored of a few objects unlike any they had previously assembled. The Martins have not concentrated on any specialized field of collecting nor are they followers of fashionable trends. They find excitement in assimilating man's artistic achievements through an examination of the arts of bygone civilizations and they have sharpened their wits in an effort to appreciate the creative work of our own time. That so outstanding a collection has been assembled within only a short time gives both of them great personal satisfaction. The rare, beautiful, extraordinary items that form this collection-unique in the annals of collecting-are the result of the Martins' perspicacity and perseverance. They love the game of collecting. Their selectivity, without the usual prejudices and limitations of most collectors, has resulted in the acquisition of about one hundred objects of such quality that they are proudly exhibited as long term loans in The Metropolitan Museum of Art and the Brooklyn Museum.
