A unique salesman sample book created by the upholstery department of Elliott Taylor Woolfenden Department store around 1913 for their clients interested in purchasing silk & cotton lace panels and curtains for their Victorian Queen Anne Homes and businesses in Detroit. They drew heavily on the designs and such suppliers as Herz & Co. New York; John F. Patching Co. New York; E.C. Carter & Son New York; the designs of Joseph Popper; Carpets flooring and lace designs of Farr & Bailey Manufacturing; and the Arts & Crafts Carpets of Witcombe McGeachin & Co. of England. The original designs laid-in to this portfolio from Herz & Co. appear to be for doorways and very tall vestibule or living room windows. Price information sizing and types of material are provided along with the designs. Lace curtains and panels became widely available after 1840 and eventually were a necessary requirement for most of the large upscale homes of the emerging upper middle class and wealthy families homes during the Gilded Age in America. The upholstery department appears to have drawn from a number of different sources and provided 100s of examples for their clients to choose from before they ordered. Elliott Taylor & Woolfenden was formed in February 1910 when the two major dry goods firms Taylor-Woolfenden Co. and William H. Elliott & Co. merged operations. They were a department store with strong specialties in suits hats interior decorating & design and other textile products. They maintained very high standards for their personnel and by 1917 were one of the most important commercial interests in Detroit.

1992045088Istanbul: Suna ve Inan Kiraç Vakfi 1992. Hardcover. New. Folio - over 12 - 15" tall. Original bdg. HC. In publisher's special box. Folio. 38 x 28 cm. In English and Turkish. A 19th century album of Ottoman Sultans' portraits. Suna and Inan Kiraç Collection.= Osmanli Padisah portreleri. Bir 19. yüzyil albümü. Inan ve Suna Kiraç Koleksiyonu. In the mind of every Turk there is a set image for Ottoman Sultans that he has acquired from a variety of sources: school books historical texts encyclopaedias etc. The Ottoman royal image is not altogether unknown to the Europeans either. This is due to the fact that there is a pictorial record of the Ottoman Sultans created by the numerous portraits produced through the centuries by Turkish and European artists. It was a great pleasure for me to write the explanatory text to this special album of sultan portraits in Inan and Suna Kirac collection. The absence of an original text in the album itself complicated the study of the portraits in view of their iconography especially the richly detailed backgrounds and attributes used for each sultan. This necessitated a thorough study of historical sources and a search for comparative albums. Nevertheless 17 similar albums dating from approximately the same period were recorded and listed after the text. The main question was to explore into the realm of the Ottoman artist to discover his approach to portraiture. In Islam to read a person's character through the study of his physiognomy has been a science. With this in mind did the Ottoman artist confine himself only to the preset details of each sultan's physiognomy or did he enrich his knowledge about the sultans through other sources I strongly believe that the artist of the Kirac album did this. Therefore in the short texts accompanying each portrait I chose to give a brief record of the sultan's deeds interests and personality as revealed in historical sources. In this way it would be easier to comprehend the artist's interpretation. In the main text I tried to give a comprehensive summary of the history of royal portraiture among the Ottomans and presented the prototypes to this album. Then came a discussion of the Kirac album itself not only in view of its artistic value but also as a significant source of information about imperial attire and certainly the artistic milieu of the Ottoman Empire in the first decades of the 19th century. <br/> <br/> Suna ve Inan Kiraç Vakfi hardcover
