Description
Description du livre: Metropolitan Museum of Art, Middle Village, New York, U.S.A., 1993. Hard Cover in Slipcase. État : Fine. Thick Quarto. Fine in Fine slipcase (issued without d/j). We'd call it AS NEW but for the previous owner's name in ink on half-title page. 688pp. Sumptuously illustrated. A key reference book to medieval tapestries, by one of the most knowledgable art historians even to tackle the subject. Complete catalog of medieval tapestries in the Met, with history, technical details (size, sett, materials, etc.), analysis of the image, and details of acquisition. Excellent general bibliography, and specific bibliographic references for each tapestry. Indispensible. If put together with Edith Standen's masterful book on the Post-Medieval tapestries in the Met, the two works form a comprehensive history of the Weaver's Art in Europe Size: Quarto
