IMPRIMERIE NATIONALE. Encyclopédie des Arts Décoratifs et Industriels Modernes au XXéme Siècle. Paris: Office Central d'Éditions et de Librarie, [ca 1930].
10 volumes, 4o. Numerous photographic plates. Original half cloth, the spines lettered and decorated in the Art Deco style (some rubbing).
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. Sets of this original edition are rare, and even the 1977 reprint edition has commanded strong prices; according to American Book Prices Current, a set of the reprint was sold in 1993 for $1,600 at Swann Galleries.
