Description

First-edition set of Encyclopédie des arts décoratifs et industriels modernes, the definitive encyclopedia of Art Deco.

  • Sold as a set of 12.
  • Paris: Office Central D'Éditions et de Librarie, [c. 1925-1927].
  • 96 photogravure plates per volume, a small portion of which are in color.
  • Three-quarter parchment paper and marbled paper-covered board, black and gold-printed endpapers.


This set was published on the occasion of the 1925 Exposition Internationale des Arts Décoratifs et Industriels Modernes, the World's Fair of design – the first since the War – and the exhibition that defined Art Deco (an abbreviation of Art Décoratifs).


Based on entries from the exhibition's original 18 volume Rapport Generale, but grouped differently, without the original title pages or preliminary leaves. Various editions of 7 to 12 volumes were issued of the Encyclopedie, depending on the original parts that were still available. Each volume contains, in addition to the photogravures, a bibliography of the subject.
