[Rarebooks] FS: Art Deco Art Ages Plates by Pedro Lemos

[Joslin Hall Rare Books]

TITLE: “Art Ages”

By Pedro J. Lemos.
Published in Worcester by School Arts Magazine in 1929.

DISCUSSION: Pedro J. Lemos (1882-1954) was an artist and educator,
Director of the Stanford University Museum of Fine Arts, editor of The
School Arts Magazine, and author of "Applied Art". In this charming
portfolio he divides art history into ten periods- Egyptian, Assyrian,
Grecian, Roman, Byzantine, Romanesque, Saracenic, Gothic, Renaissance and
Georgian/Early American, and devotes 4 illustrated plates to each- the
first plate in each section being a reproduction of one of his Deco-esque
color woodcuts showing a period scene, the next three plates showing
costume, architectural details, and objects of the period. Altogether a
beautiful Art Deco design book.

DESCRIPTION: Portfolio. 10.25"x14", card portfolio enclosing a text sheet
that folds to become six pages, plus 10 color and 30 black & white loose
plates.

CONDITION NOTES: A few plates with some minor marginal smudges, covers a
bit scuffed, cloth portfolio ties perished.

PRICE:  $250 -
