King decorative title for Scottish section, on different paper, the "Papier de garde" (end papers) supplement are used as end papers, original Art Nouveau designed vellum gilt, some light spotting to page edges otherwise fine Note: Extremely rare in this fine condition, published in connection with the first international exhibition of modern decorative art, Turin 1902, which included architecture, interior design, painting, ceramics, metal works, book illustrations, typefaces, glass, etc. Participants were Holland, Scotland (includes an extensive article on Charles Rennie Mackintosh and the Glasgow School), Germany, Austria, Hungary, Italy, Belgium, France, USA, Denmark, Sweden, England, and Japan. Special emphasis on the German contribution, with designs and typographical arrangement by Peter Behrens. The Turin Exposition of 1902 was the first to celebrate the emergence of the Art Nouveau style in Italy and is considered the first international exhibit of modern decorative art. Turin was a centre of liberal ideas and creativity and thus a receptive environment for imported modernism with work exhibited by Behrens, Mackintosh, Olbrich, et al. Italian artisan workshops and individual craftsmen such as Carlo Bugatti were also featured. The exposition was concerned also with the renewal of Italian architecture. A bold, exuberant, stylistically appropriate setting was created by Raimondo D`Aronico, at that time the chief architect to the Sultan in Constantinople. His work for the exposition was influenced by a visit to the Darmstadt Artist`s Colony designed by Joseph Olbrich. His entrances, pavilions and exhibition and administrative buildings are illustrated in the first section of the present work, which deals with architecture.

Oxford 1993, page 115 Exhibited: `George Walton: Designer and Architect` Glasgow Art Gallery and Museum, Kelvingrove, Glasgow 11 June - 19 September 1993 and at Brighton Museum and Art Gallery Church Street Brighton 4 November 1993 - 9 January 1994, No 2.7 Note: This fine linen press in green stained ash was designed by the architect and designer George Walton and was made, circa 1899, for a director of his company, Robert Dick. Walton opened his first showroom at 152 Wellington Street Glasgow in 1888, naming it `George Walton & Co, Ecclesiastical and House Decorators`. In 1897 Walton followed his brother Edward to London where he set up house and studio at 16 Westbourne Park Road, Bayswater, and in 1898 a showroom was opened in York. In the following year a four-storey block of workshops was built in Buccleuch Street, Glasgow, and it was in the same year that Robert Dick became a director of the Glasgow company, rising to chairman by 1905. In her 1993 biography of Walton Karen Moon comments " . . . in the north the company`s directors were keeping them busy: when the two brothers James and Robert Dick, who had been involved in the company since 1899, both married in the early years of the new century, their houses were done out grandly in company style". This press would have stood in one of the bedrooms or upper landings of the house and it retains its original net hangings for the windows and linen covers inside for the drawer slides.

Mary Fedden R.A. (1915-), "Cappadocia", signed, titled on a fragmented label verso, watercolour, 13 x 19cm.; 5 x 7.5in. * Mary Fedden was in Turkey in the early 1970`s as recorded on page 92 of ‘Mary Fedden’ by Mel Gooding. The painting depicts Cappadocia on the central Anatolian Plain. As far back as 400BC, people have carved various styles of dwellings out of the soft volcanic rock to create scenes that wouldn’t look out of place in a Star Wars film. First built to hide from the Arab raids, the elaborate cave systems have continued to shelter generation after generation of persecuted settlers. The area provides a wealth of inspiration for the artist from the elaborate rock churches with Byzantine frescoes at Goreme to the intricate, if slightly creepy monastic complex at Zelve and the underground cities of Kaymakli and Derinkuyu.
