P., 7 rue du Commandant Lamy, nd (ca. 1900), 1 vol. in-4° oblong (234 x 325 mm) in ff., under green linen folder, white title and white logo on orange background on the upper cover, of 44 pl.

Trace of laces on the shirt, margins of the boards slightly dusty, a fine copy.

Art Nouveau portfolio of 44 plates presenting hundreds of models of ornamental bronzes reproduced in collotype. No presentation page, no text, just plates. This catalog not being referenced in any library in the world, we cannot guarantee that it is complete, only that the plates are indeed numbered from 1 to 44. On the company Henri Cognet et Cie, few things; there is only the trace of a small hand mirror made in 1903 by Mathilde Augé, Henri Cognet, founder, presented during an exhibition on 1900 at the Grand Palais in 2000. Astonishing when we see the multitude of objects presented in this catalog!
