Description
ART NOUVEAU] - Collection of 36 plates representing jewels, except some flasks, boxes, vases and mirrors. Paris, around 1880. In-4, 36 drawings made in color, in sizes ranging from 134 mm to 220 mm pasted on gray cardboard in a folder bearing a label: "Jewelry compositions of F. Fossey". Is it Félix Fossey (1826-1895) who composed the poster of the exhibition of 1880: "Metal industry of art. Au Palais de l'Industrie"? A certain Fossey was himself a prizewinner at the distribution of prizes at the School of Decorative Arts (1880-1881). One plate, probably the frontispiece, is entitled "Bijoux". Seems never to have been published.
