ref. 79029Amsterdam Rath & Doodeheefver 1938. Folio 30.8 x 24.0 cm. 116 wallpaper samples numbered on versos and additional interior illustrations. Original cloth binding with full-colour photoprint mounted on the front board and title in brown on the front board and spine. Typed 1939 price list mounted on front board verso. = A large complete copy of a wallpaper catalogue with many fine examples of wallpaper in various styles en vogue just before WWII. Peculiar and perhaps a novelty are the occasional interior view drawings with a cut out of the walls each showing the wallpaper sample. Rath and Doodeheefver was a leading Amsterdam-based firm founded in 1890 and active until its sudden bankruptcy in 1998 after wallpaper rather quickly fell out of fashion. Boards a bit soiled and worn with some staining; the printed year 1938 both on the spine and front board crossed out and replaced by '1939' in blue crayon; the interior leaves with cutouts a bit damp stained in their right margins a few samples a bit creased in lower outer corners otherwise fine. A very good copy. hardcover

One leaf partly torn all others in excellent condition. Other Henry Bosch wallpaper catalogues are to be found in the Historic New England Library and the History Colorado Museum. The New York Metropolitan Museum of Art holds a copy of the firm's more theoretical work Suggestions for Home Decoration primarily from the wallpaper viewpoint.

ref. 79178Paul Dumas Paris ca. 1930. A fine set of two very large sheets 119 x 73 cm each with pochoir designs with flowers and birds for wallpaper or similar ornamental purposes. = A rare collection of very large original wall-paper artwork. The pochoir process involves the application of gouache or watercolour pigments through the medium of stencils by which many different colours could be applied layer after layer to a single print. The patterns show an interesting variety in colour based on the same design. This is an early work of the French firm of Paul Dumas operative from 1906 to 1978 renowned for its high-quality wallpaper and wallpaper design. The designs are reminiscent of the work of Paul Poiret who worked for Dumas. Poiret 1879-1944 "was a leading French fashion designer during the first two decades of the 20th century. His contributions to his field have been likened to Picasso's legacy in 20th-century art" Wikipedia. In all this forms an extraordinary collection of practical design in pattern and coloration. A few skilful repairs yet largely in its original state and in a very good condition especially given their size and age. The colouring vivid and bright it must be seen! unknown
