Margaret Jourdain.

English Decoration and Furniture: Volume I: Of the Early Renaissance (1500-1650); and Volume IV: Of the Later Xviiith Century (1760-1820)

London , B.T. Batsford, 1922. First edition. Cloth. Two first editions from this wonderful series examining historical British decorations and furniture. Featuring a colour frontispiece and numerous black and white photographic plates. With additional illustrations, drawn and photographic, in the text. From The Library of Decorative Art. Volumes I and IV of four volumes. Margaret Jourdain (1876-1951) was a foremost authority on English furniture and design, and the still virtually unexplored history of interior decoration and furnishing. In the early years of the century Margaret began writing up her researches in a steady stream of articles covering the field from chintzes to Chinese wallpapers, stumpwork to samplers, tea caddies, knife cases, card tables, and cradles. It was her knowledgeable and authoritative contributions that helped transform Country Life from a relatively lightweight, romantic magazine into what Walter Runciman called "the keeper of the architectural conscience of the nation&apos. She spearheaded a shift in taste away from Victorian ostentation, fussiness, and clutter to an earlier simplicity and severity. Margaret Jourdain in her prime inspired terror, awe, and in some bold spirits affection. Squat, broad, and plain, she wore dashing plumed hats, lace jabots, feather boas, and a Georgian spyglass on a gold chain. In cloth bindings. Externally, a little shelfwear, slightly rubbed with scratches and water marks to the boards and small labels to the spine. One hinge is strained. Internally, generally firmly bound, although strained in places, with some leaves working loose, a few attached by one or two cords only. Generally bright and clean, with occasional light spotting. Very Good . Ill.: None. Very Good .
