Extensively illustrated with 271 pictures, most of them in color. Translated from the French by John Goodman. Founded in the Middle Ages, the craftsmen's guilds of France oversaw the stonecutters, plasterers, woodworkers, and other skilled artisans who built their country's great cathedrals, chteaux, and other monuments. Today, these ancient guilds have adapted yet continue to nurture a tradition of fine craftsmanship in many professions. Richly illustrated with hundreds of color photographs and illustrations, this unique book brings to life the history, traditions, and achievements of these remarkable organizations. Franois Icher, author of Abrams' popular Building the Great Cathedrals, examines the origins of the guilds and the rigors of apprenticeship, and profiles the 25 traditional crafts. He also takes readers along on a journeyman's "Tour de France," revealing the guilds' legacy of art, architecture, and craftsmanship in 16 cities from Chartres to Tours. Oversized/4#. ., Harry N.

London: British Museum Press., 1994. 208pp, index, bibliography, 11 col & 120 bw ills. Or crimson cloth in jacket. As new. The English Decorated style flourished from the mid-13th century to the mid-14th century. Usually portrayed just as a style of architecture, it is better understood as a fusion of architecture and ornament- paint, stained glass, and sculpture-to create special effects. The style was one of display primarily used in churches, but secular elements- heraldry and chivalry- were important in its appearance. This book examines it not only as an architectural style, but in the context of contemporary spiritual and secular attitudes and liturgical and political developments. Also discusses the complementary roles of craftsmen and patrons.. First Edition. Hard Cover. Fine/Fine. Sml 4to., British Museum Press., 1994, 5, University of Toronto Press. Very Good. 1992.
