The book of the pearl. The history, art, science, and industry of the queen of gemsNew York, The Century Co., 1908. 4to. Colour frontispiece, 99 plates including 17 in color and one engraved, Citron crushed levant gilt, title in six compartments with five raised bands and gold tooling and gilt lettering, board edges and turn-ins gilt.
[XIX], 548 pp.The book of the pearl by Georg Frederick Kunz (1856-1932) is one of the highlights of American gemmology from the beginning of the twentieth century. Richly illustrated with plates from various sources, some in colour, this is the presentation copy, inscribed by the author himself: ‘To Miss Julia Halsey Munson, with the compliments of the senior author George F. Kunz New York July 10 1913’.Kunz drew heavily on his encyclopaedic knowledge of gems for this book. The book of the pearl presents the history of pearls from ancient China to the author’s present day. Kunz describes the historical and current practices of pearl harvesting and how pearls are processed into jewellery and cult objects. Kunz devotes much space to the region that he describes as ‘the pearling center of the world’ (p. 140): the Persian Gulf and the Red Sea. There lay the origins of pearl fishing in the Persian Gulf and Kunz describes the mastery of pearl fishers and pearl cutters of the region and the rich collections of pearls of Arab Shahs and princesses. He illustrates all of this through detailed maps. The text covers all aspects of ancient and modern knowledge of pearls, including the formation of pearls and the natural history of fresh- and saltwater pearls. John Sinkankis in his bibliography on gemmology praised the book as ‘[a] beautiful example of modern book design, executed in high quality materials […] prized not only for the enormous amount of reliable information that it contains, indeed still unmatched in any work since, but also for the large number of high quality illustrations in black and white’.Georg Frederick Kunz was one of the United States’ earliest gem experts. Born into a Swiss immigrant family in New York, he was primarily raised in New Jersey where he developed an early interest in minerals. He began collecting his first specimens by the age of 14. He had amassed a collection of approximately 4,000 stones only six years later. Kunz was a self-taught expert and his knowledge was second to none. He applied his knowledge as a gem expert for Tiffany & Company at the age of 23. He remained with Tiffany for 53 consecutive years, eventually becoming the company’s vice president. During his career at Tiffany’s, Kunz also became a prolific author. He is credited with a legacy of important books on gemstones. Kunz was also one of the founders of the New York Mineralogical Club, a Secretary of American Society of Arts and Sciences, an Honorary Curator of Precious Stones at the American Museum of Natural History, and a Curator for the New York Academy of Sciences. The pink gem variety of spodumene was named kunzite in his honour in 1903.Very good condition, only very slight wear to very slight wear to extremities, all plates included and intact, no browning or foxing.l Sinkankas 3690.
