Some 100 exquisite, full-page, color photographs by John BigelowTaylor are accompanied by text from New-York glass dealer Barr. They survey art glass pieces made in Venice during the 19th and 20th centuries; among them are goblets, vases, decanters embellished with dragons, serpents, birds, and flowers. Often details are also shown in closeups. This volume offers a richly illustrated visual study of Venetian art-glass production spanning 1855-1914. Featuring 100 full-page color images by photographer John Bigelow Taylor, it pairs sumptuous visuals with scholarly narrative by glass expert Sheldon Barr. The text contextualizes pieces - including goblets, vases, decanters - detailing stylistic motifs (dragons, serpents, floral elements), manufacturing techniques, and workshop attributions (Salviati, Seguso, Barovier, Toso). The book fills a niche in 19th-century Venetian glass scholarship by blending dealer insight with art-historical analysis.
