Specialist note

The marvellously produced catalogue of the 1925 exposition, which provides an immense resource for the Art Deco stylings of the period. There were 22 international pavilions attempting to create fresh and modern designs. The work was completed with two supplementary volumes; the present set is complete through vol. 10, with the attractive Art Deco binding design completed on the spines.
