2023ref. 213012Turnhout Belgium: Brepols 2023. Hardcover. VG. Book itself is in great shape besides small stamp inside stating it was withdrawn from an art museums library. Quarto. Hardcovr. Green matte illustrated boards with white titles. No jacket as issued. 2 volumes 1003 pages : illustrations some color maps ; 29 x 22 cm. "While the funerary portraiture of Palmyra is rightly world-renowned up to now the corpus of sarcophagi from the ancient city has received relatively little attention as a cohesive group in their own right. Comprising sarcophagi banqueting reliefs and founder reliefs as well as sarcophagus reliefs most of these objects share a common iconographic motif that of the banquet although other scenes mostly drawn from the daily life of the citys caravan leaders and their families also appear. The emphasis on the banqueting scene in particular reveals the crucial importance of dining in ancient Palmyrene society: for the living banquets were a marker of social standing and gave hosts a chance to honour the gods and offer an ephemeral benefaction to their fellow citizens while for the dead the banquet motif offered the opportunity for the entire family to be depicted together and showcase their wealth and sophistication as well as their connections outside the city. This single corpus of material gathered through the Palmyra Portrait Project is presented in this beautifully illustrated two-volume monograph. Through careful analysis of the portraits and the costumes and attribute choices that appear in these images the authors explore how the sarcophagi were used by Palmyrenes to project an image of local pride while at the same time participating in the visual cultures of the Roman and Parthian Empires between which their city was situated."--.

1925ref. List1311Olympia 1925. . Limp pebbled calf portfolios measuring 12 ½ x 10 ½ inches with 106 illustrations nearly all photographic of furniture. Interior fine some wear to portfolios overall quite well preserved. Near Fine. The Henry McCleary residence in Olympia was built in 1923 sparing no expense. The mansion still stands today on 21st Ave. and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. McLeary a timber baron and president of the Henry McCleary Timber Company also spared no expense in his furniture choices for his new residence as this pair of portfolios by the decorator E.R. Bradford shows. With furniture proposals for each room of the new house the portfolios showcase in great detail the fine furniture of the era. Some of the companies represented are the Munago and Tobey companies of Chicago both of which have letters sent to McCleary included in the group. McCleary married Mrs. Hildur D. Simons during this period an event that was covered locally and in lumber trade journals. Overall the group provides a photographic record of fine furniture of the 1920s with McCleary’s taste for timber perhaps coming across in the fine Midwestern furniture he chose to furnish his new residence. We find no record of the decorator an E.R. Bradford who was responsible for assembling the albums. unknown books
