Quarto Size. Very Good+ in Very Good+ Dustjacket. DJ protected in plastic cover. Colour & Black and White illustrations. Neat Bookplate to Front Pastedown. 184 pages "Toiles de Jouy", are terms that refer to fabric that was first manufactured at a factory in Jouy-en-Josas, a village located southwest of Paris, near Versailles. Founded in 1760 by German-born Christophe-Philippe Oberkampf, (1738-1815), a textile entrepreneur. Only the highest quality goods were used in the production of the factory's printed fabrics made of cotton, one reason for the enterprise’s success. This is the first comprehensive illustrated history of the Oberkampf factory and its designs. A richly illustrated study is an invaluable reference tool for textile historians and designers and for interior decorators.
