1922 !! Historical & Ultra-Rare Studio Sample Book China Painting Catalog F.G. Coover Co. Lincoln Nebraska Amazing Design Collectibles
I love this book!! π₯° Ultra-Rare crafting design catalog at an early time when the womens artist and craft movements were gaining momentum in the United States. Complete reference catalog from 1922 by F.G. Coover Co for outlines of china paintings! π Amazingly rare find! 164 pages with over unique 2400 designs! The book is 15" x 11". Comes with original 1922 receipt to Mildred Wickstrom and Mildred Turner Pawnee, Oklahoma.
"Our business is to supply the designs and a simplified almost Fairy-like, way to apply them, making it possible for ladies to paint china for their own use, pleaseure and profit." - F.G. Coover Company
CONDITION: Over 100 years old in fair condition! The cover has the brunt of damage with tears and rips from use (SEE PHOTOS). Previous owners tried to minimize more damage with tape. π Ironically crafty! The pages are yellowing as they have aged and dried. You can still browse the catalog gently without fear of ripping or damagin pages too easily (SEE VIDEO).Β
IMPORTANT: I took detailed photos and video so please review before you purchase.
