TALLERI, EUGENIO, Y COMPANIA

(TRADE CATALOGUE)  TALLERI, EUGENIO, Y COMPANIA.  CATALOGO DE MOSAICA.         

Milan: E. Bernardi, 1914-1915. 8vo. Decorated boards. (viii) pages, 88 pages of chromolithographic plates.

Scarce Mexican tile trade catalogue.  OCLC only records two examples: one for 1906 and one for 1909 (at the University of Arizona), but none of this enlarged 1914-1915 edition.  It is composed of five sections of different kinds of main floor designs and borders.   88 superb chromolithographic plates of 160 different tile patterns and 135 different borders, all bold, colorful, and many art nouveaux designs.  Front cover is grained brown over stiff boards, highlighted in white and black embossed decoration.  Very good.
