[Rarebooks] FS: The Art and Character of Nutcrackers

[Joslin Hall Rare Books]

TITLE: “The Art and Character of Nutcrackers”

By Arlene Wagner.
Published by Collectors Press in 2005.

DISCUSSION: Nutcrackers have come in many forms -dogs' heads, elephants'
trunks, clenched fists, cast iron dragons, brass courtesans, objects
resembling surgical pincers, and any number of plungers, levers, and
gavels—not to mention the traditional little fellow with the big mouth.
Some are elegant in their simplicity, while some are so delightfully
fashioned they can only be considered works of art. This illustrated album
presents nutcrackers and other nutty accessories in hundreds of color
photographs—most are from Europe and America, made from the 15th century
to the present.

DESCRIPTION: Hardcover. 8.5”x11”, 188 pages, loaded with color
illustrations, dust jacket.

CONDITION NOTES: Minor wear, but otherwise clean and nice, with a tight
binding.

PRICE: $60.00
