Illustrated with delightful woodcut vignettes, decorated initial
letters, and tailpieces, by Ferdinand Fargeot [1880-1957]. Fargeot was
an illustrator, and landscape and genre painter who exhibited at the
International Exposition at Brussels in 1922 and Copenhagen in 1924, and
the Colonial Exposition at Strasbourg in 1928. he was the founder and
President of l'Art Decoratif Moderne at Lyon, and was involved in the
interior decoration of the Atlantic liner S.S. Ile de France, the first
liner to be completely decorated in the new Art Deco style. "Never
before had a ship had its own style of interior design like the Ile de
France. For the first time, a ship's passenger spaces had been designed
not to reproduce decorative styles of the past but to celebrate the
style of the present."

Ferdinand Fargeot. Original softcovers, covered with period glassine.
