"Little is known about the life of the Parisian publisher of Le Garde-meuble Désiré Guilmard c. 1810-c.1885 except that he founded the publishing firm of D. Guilmard in 1839. Because his name appears as the "delineator" of the majority of the furniture plates in Le Garde-meuble many historians presumed he was a furniture designer. However he is not known to have had a furniture shop nor are there any signed examples of his furniture extant. We do know that Guilmard was closely connected to the Parisian design community and through his numerous publications see below became an influential purveyor of taste. He was also an exceptionally able businessman who promoted French furniture and design during a fifty-year period of rapidly changing taste" Smithsonian. D.Guilmard hardcover

1890502San Francsico California: Pacific Rolling Mill Company 1890. 8vo. 250 x 170 mm. 10 x 7 inches. 100 pp. plus 4 leaves of ruled paper 2 with measurements in manuscript. Illustrated throughout with simple drawings of parts many stenciled with green wash; one plate folding. Bound in limp cloth covered boards title in gilt on front cover; a cloth binding shows some wear to gilt title two pencil drawings on front endpaper; other a very good sound copy. Straight forward price list of iron bar steel rail rolled and forged metal axles nuts bolts washers and dozens of other metal products. There is no introduction about the history of the firm just images of parts prices and a few lines of text describing specifications for some of the more complicated manufacture items. What distinguishes this rare trade catalogue is the design sense of many of the images and the application of stenciled color to highlight the object. The printed form of the parts are in outline and as one pages through the catalogue the images take on an abstract quality. Metal parts become contoured shapes with form being determined only by the light green wash applied to the physical part of the design. Although unintentional I am sure this late 19th century publication replete with many of the characteristics of period book design exhibits a very modernist feel one that is most unusual in publications of this nature. Although called the 7th edition this is only one of three issues of the PRMC's product guide and price list that is known. Organized in 1867 PRMC grew continuously and by 1892 was producing more than 40 thousand tons of iron and steel.

In 1835 the world's richest deposit of white crystalline marble was discovered in the area of Georgia then known as "Long Swamp Valley." As quarries moved into the area it soon became known as Marble Hill. Around 1880 the greater world became aware of these rich deposits and soon sought to take them over. Early in the 20th century Frank H. Sidall and H.C. Clement both Northerners looking to make some money in the "New South" created the Georgia Marble Company. By 1916 the Georgia Marble Company had purchased the Southern Marble and Stone Company and four more plant facilities at Marble Hill Nelson Ball Ground and Marietta. With the final purchase in 1941 of the Georgia Marble Finishing Works at Canton the Georgia Marble Company had achieved a virtual monopoly of this excellent supply of top-tier marble. Although it was purchased by a Canadian multinational company in 2003 the Georgia Marble Company continues to be the world's largest producer of marble products.
