About This Item
Paris: Ernst Henri, Editeur, 1925. Loose plates. Good. Folio, 11 by 15 inches. Portfolio of 40 loose plates. Paper over boards, cloth spine, printed paper label, cloth tie. The plates are printed in full color and mounted to a gray card with a printed black border. Portfolio well worn, and the spine repaired. The text pages are soiled and chipped. The mountings for the plates are sunned along the edges, but the plates are fine. Overall a good copy.
These embroideries and woven printed fabrics were exhibited at the U.S.S.R. pavilion at the International Exhibition of Decorative Arts at Paris in 1925. The samples were supplied by ethnographic museums and almost all of them were produced in the 19th century. A few are from the 17th and 18th century and plates 26 and 27 are from modern Ukraine.
