Fine-looking, structurally sound hardcover, little discernible wear, bright interior, unmarked. Handsomely produced in a blue cloth over boards, blind-stamped designs to front and rear covers, sharp and distinct lettering to spine. Bright and shiny dust jacket, illustrated, little worn, laminated, and in foldover, quite fine. Full-page, two-page illustrated endpapers front and rear. Over 700 illustrations, the greatest bulk of them in full color. A glorious presentation of the city's best paintings, reunited across the borders that had separated the two Germanys for over 40 years. From the publisher's blurb, "Presented chronologically, this book features a series of portfolios whose text and pictures deal with the schools or artists for which Berlin's museums are so celebrated. Each of these monographic gatherings is a revelation of the city's masterpieces, some neglected or forgotten. Many of the over seven hundred reproductions have never before been shown in color. This is the most comprehensive publication ever devoted to the capital's paintings, and the first to discuss the reorganized, rebuilt, or new institutions that house them. Foremost among these is the new Gemaldegalerie for Old Masters, which houses the bulk of Berlin's magisterial collections of earlier pictures. Volume contains scholarly apparatus in the form of, e.g., notes, index, and bibliography. xv, 1-683 pp.Member, I.O.B.A., C.B.A., and adherent to the highest ethical standards. . . . As New/Fine,

The Ceramic Career of M. Louise Mclaughlin

Athens, Ohio, Ohio University Press, 2003. First Edition. Softcover. Size: Large 8vo 9" - 10. Big, tall, accessible, easy-to-read biography of a brilliant ceramicist, M. Louise McLaughlin, by Anita J. Ellis, published in stated First Edition state. Replete with black-and-white illustrations and photographs. From the publisher's blurb, " In 1877 the thirty-year-old artist Mary Louise McLaughlin wrote China Painting, the first manual on the subject in the United States written by a woman for women. Extremely successful, it is now accepted as the book that launched the china painting movement in America. When in 1898 McLaughlin decided to produce porcelain, the most difficult of ceramics, she showed the determination and exactitude that were her trademarks. Already renowned as a ceramicist, she became the first to produce studio porcelain in America and the first to discover the technique for decorating under the glaze. Her work was welcomed with enthusiasm in New York and Paris. Despite the enormous influence of Mary Louise McLaughlin on the history of American ceramics, Anita Ellis's The Ceramic Career of M. Louise McLaughlin is the first definitive study dedicated to her accomplishments. Anita Ellis depicts the many challenges McLaughlin encountered in pursuit of her ultimately successful career. Not the least of these was her rivalry with the formidable Maria Longworth Nichols, fellow Cincinnatian and founder of the Rookwood Pottery Company. Another was that of being a woman in the arts: her primary goal had been to paint portraits on canvas, but Victorian society did not afford opportunities in what was considered a male sphere. Replete with historic photos and color illustrations of many of McLaughlin's works, The Ceramic Career of M. Louise McLaughlin is a tribute to a woman artist who rose to one of the most esteemed positions in her field. Mary Louise McLaughlin had considerable influence on the history of American ceramics. Here, Anita Ellis depicts the many challenges McLaughlin encountered in pursuit of her ultimately successful career."
